    • Clinton Economists: A Storm Is Coming

      Posted by Billbar from Alternet

      When Robert Rubin speaks his mind, his thoughts on economic policy are the gold standard for the Democratic Party. Rubin now freely acknowledges what the American establishment for many years denied or dismissed as inconsequential--globalization's role in generating the thirty-year stagnation of US wages, squeezing middle-class families and below, while directing income growth mainly to the upper brackets. A lot of Americans already knew this. Critics of "free trade" have been saying as much for years. But when Bob Rubin says it, his words can move politicians, if not financial markets.

    Clinton's camp credits Canadian intrusion on NAFTA in her Ohio success | Macleans.ca

    I’m really sick of her and her supporters. This is not going to go well for the Democrats. I can’t see ANY Obama supporters jumping ship in her favor under any circumstances.

    This should have been a non-issue. Hillary’s supporters must have put blinders on to ignore the logical disconnection in what Hillary was implying: it wasn’t Obama personally talking to Canadians. It was an Obama surrogate (yeah, I know he’s responsible for them to some degree, but still it’s a stretch) speaking to a right wing government that doesn’t exactly represent Canadian citizens on our collective view of NAFTA, anyway.
