to Nixon ending the draft. This absolutely would have continued in 1992 but for Ross Perot running. The recession pre-dated 1992 and wasn't that bad. Citibank almost failed on bad bets, and Japan, Inc. had the brakes slammed on it and its bubble burst, but that was a blip. Ross Perot siphoned off the votes from the 20% of people who didn't want to offshore all of America's production and open the border with Mexico. But that was the year the Uniparty merger was complete.

That was when the Dems realized that going NeoCon Chamber of Commerce Republican on the entire economic platform was necessary. And now they are so deep in it that they don't understand that their shit on free trade and open borders is Milton Friedman talking, with a twist of Keynesian manna from heaven stimulus added.

The Dems will win again.
