Perfect timing before the election -- Hillary Clinton's Wall Street Speeches exposed on WikiLeaks.

Watched them both. Hillary's friend Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs lectured Congress on the need to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Is this Hillary's private position? Very likely, given her own admission that her life is far removed from the middle class. How can ANYONE with progressive values vote for this hypocrite? If you study Trump's actual policies, he is on the same page as Sanders on many issues -- it just gets obscured by his immature personality, narcissism and thin skinned reaction to any criticism. Instead of discussing issues is the media going to focus the rest of campaign time on locker room comments Trump made eleven years ago? Unfortunatrely these are the two candidates so it is now a question of which one is the lesser evil. No matter how repulsive his personality, what Trump says seems to be what he really believes. We now know for a fact that Hillary has two positions so we can only guess what her true thinking is. Judging by the massive amount of money she has received from Wall Street and banks, her sympathies lie with the financial establishment. Then there are her hawkish foreign policy positions vs Trump's isolationist inclinations.

The debates are broken. A solution to fix them.

The thing that is being treated as a smoking gun in the Hillary leaked transcripts is this:

“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.”

How is this a bad thing? Can any expat (looking @ you Jan) really disagree with that as a goal?

 

[sergio]

That common market will benefit US corporations and few others. Take advantage of third world countries that have weak environmental laws, pay low wages, get away with practices that wouldn't be tolerated in the US. Open borders that go one way: to the US. Not sustainable when there aren't enough jobs for US citizens.

Laws come with open markets, see the EU and how Norway and anyone else who gets access to it has to comply with those laws.

 

[sergio]

Europe is quite different from Latin America or poor countries in Asia. These parts of the world are not famous for the rule of law as in a place like Norway.

 

[camberiu]

Yep, he said it (with the "P" word...as in "grabbing" her...) about ten years ago.
