Why Elizabeth Warren thinks Bill Clinton made CEO pay even worse

[Sancho]

10. Not true....

Warren's speech discusses a fix.

She is clear in the speech that LOTS of political issues led to multiple failures of legislation and regulation.

She does NOT say that Bill Clinton originated the part of the bill being discussed, nor blame him specifically for putting that clause in the bill.

You can assume that she blames him, but it's a fabrication. She does not say so, and she had ample opportunity to say whatever she wants.

Frankly, the tone of the speech is not to blame anyone, but it's to name the things that need to be done to fix it.

"She blames the rules Bill Clinton signed into being. " You cannot know this unless she actually says it. The premise of the WP article is simply not true.

It is easily possible to say that rules were created by well-meaning people who made a mistake, or rules were made that were not enforced, or rules were made as a compromise. There are all kinds of explanations.

Regardless, she did NOT say "Bill Clinton did it.", therefore the WP should not say so. It's just another reason to bash the Clintons.

As I recall, Bill left a surplus budget and as a popular President. He was a hell of a lot better than either Bush. You and the WP would be better off to read the speech and see what could be fixed, instead of making up things that Warren didn't really say.
