6. I lived in Arkansas in the 80's, let me tell you
Bill Clinton was working the "Arkansas miracle". That's where all these company's started doing business in Arkansas, turning around the economy. What really happened is he made Arkansas a haven for union busting corporations. They moved down there and within a few years, union jobs were minimum wage jobs.

He also used Arkansas to practice destroying the welfare system. In Arkansas in the 80's, they had already implemented "workfare", where you even had to work for food stamps. They also limited Medicaid prescription drug coverage to 3 per patient. I have never heard of that anywhere else in the country.

Yeah, those Clintons are real economic geniuses. I'm not a bit surprised she is more worried about protecting the FICA of the 10% who make over $100,000 a year, than the rest of us getting a fair return on what we have paid in.
