The American government no longer needs to slaughter union demonstrators or assassinate elected liberal officials or resort to the type of murderous terrorism it inflicts on probably most other countries on the planet (e.g., the history of our "government" in Latin and South America alone is horror incarnate).
No, thanks mostly to Bill Clinton and his lying and treacherous administration, the new name of the game is to emasculate the middle and lower classes with financial terrorism.
George Bush simply picked up where Clinton left off and pushed the "Clinton Doctrine" of an unregulated financial infrastructure to new heights of shifting the pitiful percentage of the economy in the hands of the working class into the claws of America's astronomically rich elites (the "Have's"). In a word, Clinton gave the rich EVERYTHING. Bush just followed his lead.
It is beyond tragic to think the economic chaos we now wake to every morning is simply a composite of "trends", or maybe just bad luck, or the roll of historical dice.
It is suicidally imbecile to think that.
Rather the world we wake up to every morning is an elaborately constructed dynamic mostly started by Bill Clinton and his Judas DLC. Said differently, it is simply a straight jacket strategy of the American Government (and we say American Government since it was created by both parties of our status quo one party system) to kill the dream of American Democracy.
Indeed, that is now the chief function of the American Government, i.e., to stamp out the concept of "democracy" in the United States once and for all.
In its place? The fancy word is "oligarchy", but in ordinary language, it's a Dictatorship of the Rich. It's also a police state, but the financial strangulation of the American people is working so well the violence of preemptive military terrorism can mostly be saved for other countries.
