Let’s face it, Clinton’s role in at least the failure of the bank system was quite significant. He’s the one that let Robert Rubin and Larry Sommers talk him into signing the republican initiated legislation that did away with the Glasz – Steagal act.. that’s what allowed the banks to combine facilities and create bogus products that were much the same ones that caused the last depression.

I wonder if theres such a thing as a pre-existing condition clause on your plans?
