I've been inspired to compile a list of Bill Clinton's greatest hits. This will be a work in progress and expanded as time goes on.
Feel free to add items, provide links, discuss.
Some highlights of the Clinton legacy
- NAFTA
- Assault Weapons Ban
- Brady Bill
- Undeclared war in Kosovo
- Undeclared war in Somalia
- Bombed the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan; Operation Infinite Reach
- Iraq sanctions; killed 500,000 Iraqi children.
- FMLA; more federal intervention in the workplace.
- Balanced budget was a myth; Debt went up every year.
- Waco massacre
- Death penalty reform; Increased the likelihood that innocent people will be killed on death row by limiting appeals
- Community Reinvestment Act; mandated loans to low income individuals; led to a certain housing bubble.
- Repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act
- Supported tons of corporate welfare
- Expanded, militarized, and federalized law enforcement across the country
- Ballooned prison population to record levels; ramped up the Drug War.
- Communication Decency Act; censorship of the internet
- Expanded executive powers in the name of fighting terrorism
- Ramped up the use of Extraordinary Rendition; transferred suspects to countries where they could be legally tortured.
- Violence Against Women Act; federalizes crime, enlarges DOJ, mandatory sentencing, infringes on state powers.

Then there were the murder coverups, drug running, false flag terrorism, and more.
