Will Hillary Clinton follow in her husband's footsteps if she becomes President?

Tapsearch Com featuring Tapart News and Art that Talks kept a record of many of the jobs that were lost and the many companies that closed down in 1998 and some of the previous years. The list is available at Tapart News and Art that Talks at site noted below. In 1998 alone, more than 250,000 jobs were lost in high technology. During this time, President Clinton proclaimed a statistical property while millions were losing their jobs and a silent depression was spreading across the land. (Hurricane Katrina exposed this silent depression in New Orleans after the storm.) Surrounding the time of President Clinton, the U.S. went through the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history. A working poor class was created at the expense of the middle class. Getting American Working Forum reported that 50% of all the human resources in the USA was not being used.

Soon after President Clinton was elected, 250,000 lost their jobs just between IBM and AT&T/NCR Computers. In eight years, several more Steel Corporations went bankrupt or went out business completely. The unemployment rates were a fabrication compared to pass reporting. In the past, unemployment was primarily based on only full time jobs with the reporting coming from the unemployment offices. However, the methods were changed since only about 38% of all workers were qualifying for unemployment insurance. The same applies today.

In the Land of ' is ' even a single mother making only a $100 a month was considered employed. The same applys today too. President Bush the second did not change a thing when he took office. The two act as if they are one when it comes to Free Trade and denial about the creation of a working poor class in the USA.

Free Trade was not something new when President Clinton pushed the passage of both unfair NAFTA and GATT trade agreements. He just confirmed what was going on for a long time and put the process at warp speed. The U.S. Government sponsored the moving of factories outside the USA starting in 1956. By 1970, 120 factories were moved to Mexico. Then things heated up. By 1980 there were 400 factories moved to Mexico with complete blessings of the U.S. Government. Then the moves became more frequent during the 1980s and during President Bush the first era. By 1992, prior to the passing of the trade bills, 2,000 former U.S. factories were in Mexico. After the passing of NAFTA this number quickly doubled to more than 4,000 factories being moved to Mexico.

By the time President Clinton took office, there was plenty of evidence that Free Trade was all about moving production to the cheapest labor markets possible and not about trading products. It was also self-evident that this so called Free Trade had a long history of failures. This did not stop President Bill Clinton from pushing for more the same. He actually went out of his way to force the passing of both NAFTA and GATT trade agreements. In November 1993, the Contract with America Republicans won Congress. For some reason, President Clinton chose not to wait for the Republicans to take over Congress in the coming January and he called Congress back from a Thanksgiving holiday to pass GATT. It was apparent that he had Free Trade high on his list of things to do during his time in office.

Soon after getting NAFTA passed by a Democrat controlled Congress - it was a slight margin but still it was a Democrat Congress - President Clinton had to rush billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso. President Bush the second, says Mexican workers migrate to the U.S. to take jobs Americans will not take. He neglects to tell the American people that even though thousands of U.S. factories were moved to Mexico, the Mexicans would not take the jobs that pay only about a $1 an hour and fled to the USA seeking better wages. In effect, Mexican workers are refusing jobs in Mexico. Now many of these factories are moving out of Mexico to places like China where there are workers who are willing to work for less. Today, you can view the Chinese Liberation Army rolling by across our land in the form of COSCO the giant shipping company. The Chinese Liberation Army is a part owner of COSCO. The large shipping containers on top of railroad flat cars flast by as we stop at our railroad crossings. President Clinton allowed China to obtain much of our high technology too.

Hillary Clinton has not contested any of this during her tenure as the wife of the President or as a Senator from New York. She is a Free Trader. She will talk about establishing a better level playing field but not about the happenings as noted above. Thereis nothing in her background that lends itself to stop the suffering of workers in the USA or Mexico - or for that matter in places like China too. Electing her will be like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop.

As far as wars go, in effect President Clinton started a pre-emptive war in the Balkans. He gave the Serbians an ultimatum that everyone knew the Serbians could not comply with. In trying to stop ethnic cleansing, President Clinton ended up in doing his own version of it. When the U.S. went into Yugoslavia, more about 750,000 Serbians and Gypies had to flee for their lives. They flocked to Belgrade and many also went to Kosovo only to have to flee again after the U.S. military went into Kosovo. President Clinton then bombed civilians in Belgrade. Nothing is right in the Balkans after all this with one power just replacing another one. Bosnia became a training area for terrorists with many ending up in Iraq. President Clinton let these fighters come to Bosnia in the first place during the war . Actually, the whole scenario is a forecast of what will now happen in Iraq. One power will replace another one with more terrorism and not less as the by-product.

Hillary Clinton is coming now and and all should be reminded about what happened in the Land of ' is' . It needs to be pass on across our land. The second coming of the Clintons is here. There is not much difference between the Clinton and Bush era.
