Developing countries have to do a better job of improving productivity, raising labor conditions, and protecting the environment, on and on.???

Clinton: “When My Husband Was Elected In His First Two Years He Made A Lot Of Changes. […] He Passed NAFTA, Alienating A Lot Of The Democratic Base.??? “But, I think it’s important to go back just for another historic minute.

He passed really strong gun control laws, taking on the NRA, no easy matter to do in American politics. He passed NAFTA, alienating a lot of the Democratic base. We fought for healthcare reform unsuccessfully.??? [Remarks for CIBC, 1/22/15]
