I blame George W. Bush and Clinton!!! Clinton signed the free trade agreement which toppled the American economy and then you had George W. Bush come alone and support big corporations and bailouts for all these huge corporations that had cheated so many little plp but was considered "to big to fail"!!(oh and let's not forget the oil company's)! I just lost my house to foreclosure and no one stepped up to bail me out and I have worked hard all of my life starting at 14 years old! I can say it has effected other economies around the world...everyone that is except China! The same country that poisoned their own babies with tainted milk!! So do I want to hear a speech that Clinton gives? NO!! I want him to apologize for signing the free trade agreement!!
I don't remember many suicides when I was growing up in Ireland in the 40's and 50's. Times were tough then too but people had something to fall back on--a Legacy of Hope from two great men; one, a wise Carpenter, and the other, an ex slave immigrant Preacher. It was nurtured at great sacrifice down through the generations and drawn on in times of despair. It started a steep decline as the era of 'enlightenment' took hold in last half of the past century and was finished off entirely by the Celtic Tiger boom. Now that his passing has left a trail of despair,I hope the young generations will realize the value of'old time religion' or find something else to fall back on.! The real victims of suicide are the loved who have to live on.
Did the trickster go to a better college than the debtor? Sirpeter, think first, write later. DLW, Pres. Clinton has and is a good friend of Ireland. Why begrudge him income less than some athlete's? His combination of intelligence, knowledge, communication skills make him unique in today's political forum - worldwide! Some of our Presidents get overpaid, some underpaid. Many in Congress should not be paid atall.
What Bill Clinton will not admit to is that financing pretentious / to big to fail American Corporations by stealing from Social Welfare Recipients asset stripped Ireland. Its Ok to get Irish Politicians to commit crimes against the Irish People. Its Ok if people are left to starve just finance these corporations, just don't blame Americans.
Clinton has to say something to keep getting the speaking fees. I saw the other day that he has received 60 million in speaking fees over the last 8 years. Who says our President's are underpaid?
Thank's Bill..But what do you expect when a young guy breaks his ass for years in collage,tricked into buying a house for 600,000,loses his job and forced to hand back the keys to the bank,only to find he is 300,000 in debt and nothing to show for it.
