    I mean really, it was Biden and the Clinton’s doing the 96 telecom act…

    They desperately needed something to point to that neoliberalism worked. Most people who supported neoliberalism did it because of:

    1. The dotcom boom helping the economy.

    2. The reduction in crime.

    1 would have happened no matter what, but neoliberals took credit and said the only reason it happened was not taxing the wealthy.

    2 also would have happened without their crime bill, the only effect was the same ever country saw a generation after banning leaded gas.

    Neoliberalism has never worked, and it will never work. They just take credit for anything good that happens.
