Out of curiosity, what do you think are the 3 worst policy decisions (in terms of long-lasting effects) passed by Congress and the President over the last 25 years? I don't mean anything related interparty warfare (Clinton impeachment, government shutdown battles), just passed legislation.

I realized that this is probably the easiest way to see why exactly Clinton lost. Here are the three I came up with last night:

1. The Iraq War Vote- No explanation needed as to why this is the number 1 failure
2. The repeal of Glass-Steagal- Set us on the path for the great recession (I'm aware that the repeal itself may have not had much of an effect, but then neither did any single piece of legislation to my knowledge. The GS repeal was a good strategy to get the ball rolling and honestly we could still use these protections today...badly).
3. NAFTA- Emblematic of vicious neo-liberal policies that have enriched the wealthy while undercutting American manufacturing base.

All three of these had something in common: Hillary Clinton was on the wrong side of all of them. All of them caused serious harm to many people in this country (and outside of the country as well in all of these cases); for all that we say that voting Republican is voting against self-interest, there was plenty of evidence out there that a vote for Hillary was a proven vote against self-interest for some.

I'm curious to see how what answers pop up (I asked a friend last night and he said the Crime Bill). Will anyone have an answer that Hillary Clinton wasn't wrong on?
