Fascist creeping elements began with Rehnquist court
with changes to Search & Seizure laws
e.g. probable cause redefined, criminal intent interpretable
Nixon had a profound effect on the legal system, police enforcement, and civil liberties
Clinton did nothing to relax the trend toward fascism
instead, he embarked on a Strong Dollar policy that wrecked the entire US Mfg sector
and on a Financial Reform movement that repealed Glass-Steagal
Clinton's legacy will be financial in nature
think WRECKING BALL after the middle class wrote the Hamptons a check
ironically, the rejoining of bank-broker-insurance comes just in time for the Greater Depression underway
the lawsuits are mounting, not with much publicity yet
but these lawsuits will be monstrous
JPMorgo will need all that Salomon deep pockets
not sure they merged enough insurance pockets though
both Dem and GOP leaders make huge errors
they pick different places to cause havoc and undermine this country's heritage
the problem is that we choose our leaders based upon ability to look convincing and charming before a TV set or a podium, and to raise large sums of money
actually, I think we love to choose NOBODY MEN, men with no past and no history, no opinions, no bonds
e.g. Carter, Clinton, Bushy
who will the next NOBODY be?
they are all amateurs at leadership
we might as well offer up rotating CEO's
Reagan bankrupted the nation with federal debt, in between Cabinet Meeting naps
the gain was a destroyed Soviet Union as they could not keep up with our military development pace
the payback for us is really nice killing machines to use in the deserts of the MidEast
