Big supporter of the Billy Boy,then the scary facts started coming to the surface. Years ago we used to call the DLCers the Rockefeller Wing of our party. Now some call these folks the Rubin Summers Wing. If one reads the history of how these folks fought FDR tooth and nail on his New Deal Programs,one sees the true influence of Elenore in staying the course on these Middle Class Building Blocks. Remember this,todays Austerity Programs started under Billy and were disguised as Wall Street Reform Act or as I call it the New Years Eve gift that keeps on giving to Wall Street. Next came the Biggee,the Bush raid on the Middle Class with the help of the Blue Bog Dems and they called it the Bush Tax Cuts. And so it goes.
