*CLINTON TALKS ABOUT HOLDING WALL STREET ACCOUNTABLE ONLY FOR POLITICAL

REASONS*

*Clinton Said That The Blame Placed On The United States Banking System For

The Crisis “Could Have Been Avoided In Terms Of Both Misunderstanding And

 Really Politicizing What Happened.”* 

“That was one of the reasons that I

 started traveling in February of '09, so people could, you know, literally

 yell at me for the United States and our banking system causing this

conventional wisdom. And I think that there's a lot that could have been

everywhere. Now, that's an oversimplification we know, but it was the
 avoided in terms of both misunderstanding and really politicizing what

Us.” *“Now,

it's important to recognize the vital role that the financial markets play

“Now, without going over how we got to

what Senator Simpson and Erskine did was to bring Republicans and Democrats alike to the table, and you had the full range of ideological views from I think Tom Coburn to Dick Durbin. And they reached an agreement. But what
 you're going to be able to move the other side. And where we are now is in this gridlocked dysfunction. So you've got Democrats saying that, you know, you have to have more revenues; that's the sine qua non of any kind of agreement. You have Republicans saying no, no, no on revenues; you have to

The specifics can be negotiated and argued over. But you got to do all three. You have to

restrain spending, you have to have adequate revenues, and you have to have growth. And I think we are smart enough to figure out how to do that. [Clinton Speech For Morgan Stanley, 4/18/13]

The way we got to develop any kind of medical insurance program was during

 World War II when companies facing shortages of workers began to offer

healthcare benefits as an inducement for employment. So from the early

And then of course our large labor unions bargained for

 healthcare with the employers that their members worked for. 

So from the

 early 1940s until the early 1960s we did not have any Medicare, or our

 program for the poor called Medicaid until President Johnson was able to

 get both passed in 1965. 

So the employer model continued as the primary

 means by which working people got health insurance. 

People over 65 were

 eligible for Medicare. Medicaid, which was a partnership, a funding

 partnership between the federal government and state governments, provided

 some, but by no means all poor people with access to healthcare. So what

administration we worked very hard to come up with a system, 

but we were

 very much constricted by the political realities that if you had your

 insurance from your employer you were reluctant to try anything else. 

And

 so we were trying to build a universal system around the employer-based

 system. And indeed now with President Obama's legislative success in

So we have health insurance companies playing a

both to the employed whose
