"In an interview with Ma'ariv, [Rahm] Emanuel's father, Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, said he was convinced that his son's appointment would be good for Israel. 'Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel,' he was quoted as saying. 'Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House.'"
Jerusalem Post

“Clinton’s going-away gift to Emanuel was a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000,” Lynn Sweet wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times on Jan. 3, 2002.

Ted, > Trickle down has been since 2001.

It has been since the 1980s.

Maybe you can tell us how you would have done things differently in 2001, right after Clinton's dot-com bubble burst. Raise taxes? Increase government spending?
