Where were the Clintons when our govt started sending our jobs overseas?

[Zueda]

Oh....wait. nevermind.

[Progress And Change]

1. you mean when 22 million jobs were created?

They were in the White House during that era of peace and prosperity...

[Zueda]

2. You can keep your Walmart-like jobs!

I'm talking real manufacturing jobs backed by unions.

6. You folks have no doubt heard about Clinton selling missile technology to China.

That one always confused me until I was able to piece it together.

Under Clinton, permission was given for one of the gov't contractors to send the manufacture of a component of a guidance system to China. The assumption is that this component was "reverse engineered" by the Chinese. However, there is absolutely no evidence or suggestion that the Chinese were able to do anything with this incomplete information on missile guidance.

This doesn't exactly amount to "selling missile technology to China", but you get the point.

And, it was a case of jobs going abroad.

[rucky]

7. Signing the paperwork. n/t

[Tom Rinaldo]

10. Same place Al Gore was

Maybe we should have voted for Perot.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Figures

DSB

[Gman]

13. A better question is where was Obama and why wasn't he speaking out?

He didn't even try to make a difference. Obviously he didn't care. Obama must have stood to make money off of NAFTA. Obama made millions while millions got laid off.

[NYCGirl]

15. He was lecturing at the University of Chicago Law School.

Did you forget your sarcasm smilie? Sometimes it's hard to tell here.

[Zueda]

17. Let's see...

As an associate attorney with Miner, Barnhill & Galland from 1993 to 1996, he represented community organizers, discrimination claims, and voting rights cases. He was a lecturer of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004

[cuke]

21. IOW, he did nothing about jobs and trade

while the Clinton's policies created 22 million new jobs and the economy boomed

[Gman]

24. Thank you

[cuke]

25. Let's not forget the lowest poverty rates, teen pregnancy rates, abortion rates,

drug abuse rates, and the highest levels of home ownership, employment, income, etc

[mitchum]

14. In the Beltway, of course
