Bill Clinton: How to Tame the Debt Without Screwing the Poor and Middle Class

Jared Bernstein wrote in Rolling Stone, Bill Clinton: How to Tame the Debt Without Screwing the Poor and Middle Class. "The former president sat down for an interview with Tom Brokaw yesterday at a conference in Washington D.C., and was the voice of reasoned experience. I don’t agree with everything he said, but I agree with most of it. And I can’t think of anyone else who so deeply understands the intersection of policy, politics, world affairs, and human nature right now. Here are a few points I thought deserved elaboration:"

I'm most of the way through Clinton's latest book, Back to Work and think it makes a lot of sense. It's in his same conversational tone that you see in all his talks (like on The Daily Show). He cites lots of statistics and facts and is trying to bring in the conservatives and come up with policy proposals that are compromises and could make a difference. It's good stuff. Can we repeal the 22nd amendment?
