At Salon, Will Marshall doesn't like that Michael Lind, earlier this week, said that Clintonism, as an economic program to lift all boats, was based on as much illusion as Obama-ism is so far. So, after a sharp elbow at Lind, he tries to defend the Slickster.
And fails.
Sure, Will, we had all these new jobs created during the Clinton administration. We also had income inequality widen during eight years of continuous economic growth. We had NAFTA. We had the WTO. We had a president who did little for organized labor.
Will Marshall = Fail.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
