Kayla Rolland was killed by a six-year-old male first grader at Buell Elementary School in the Beecher Community School District, located in Mount Morris Township, Michigan near Flint. His father, Dedric Owens, was in jail for violating his parole, having previously been convicted for possession of cocaine with intent to deliver and burglary. The boy had been living with his mother, Tamarla, and his eight-year-old brother. She was evicted from her home, having been unable to pay rent with the $175 weekly wage she received from the two jobs she worked under Michigan's welfare-to-work program, and both boys then shared a single sofa as a bed at their uncle's house. The home, where his uncle lived with a 19-year-old man, was a crack house where guns were frequently traded for drugs. At some point, the child found a loaded Davis Industries P-32 .32-caliber handgun under some blankets.

Completely gutted the last vestiges of the welfare state from the New Deal, "welfare to work" programs, economic policies directly responsible for the housing bubble that still continue today, austerity in the name of bipartisanship, "don't ask don't tell", and the "defense of marriage act" is a pretty good top level list
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act 🤮 was a cornerstone of the Republican Party's "Contract with America," and also fulfilled Clinton's campaign promise to "end welfare as we know it."
Im sure I can find one. Really it was just standard Neoliberal shit, moving the democrats further away from real intersectional leftist idpol and further away from class politics towards a more business oriented capitalist mode.
This is one of the few good reasons to watch certain episodes of Jimmy Dore, because he has a laundry list of all the horrible shit the Clintons did while in power and he repeats it pretty often. Just DO NOT WATCH JIMMY FOR TOO LONG OR YOU WILL BECOME A TULCEL, and then we will obviously have to execute you after facing trial in a people's court.
Democrats refused to poop on bill
And here we are 2 decades later with broken politics
Bill Clinton was neoliberal wet dream. We needed someone like Bernie desperately back then instead of ol Billy.
He’s partially to blame along with Reagan and all the other slime balls.
Is there a good leftist rundown of why Bill was awful somewhere? I’ve been so fixated on Obama that I forgot the other lib darling my family idolizes.
I think one of the best critiques of Bill’s “Welfare to Work” was in Bowling for Columbine.
Thanks for finding the details on that case.
