    This was the programme Bush wrote, right? It seems to be as bogus a statement as “Biden bungled the Afghanistan pull-out.”

    Clinton didn’t “end welfare”. He replaced one program with another.

    MAGA would have happened either way.

      Go back further. Regan is to blame for a ton of our woes, and the Clinton’s just made it worse. While Bush and Obama kept up the status quo while keeping us constantly at war.

    I mean… He did popularize third way politics in America, which has paved the way for fascism in America. That being said, it’s hilarious that a publication like foreign policy would attempt to blame it on changes to how welfare works without actually alluding to why.
