Bill and Hillary's Teacher Pension Perfidy
NY Post ^ | January 30, 2006 | Peter Schweizer

Posted on 01/30/2006 6:06:40 AM PST by Boston Blackie

Bill Clinton has made corporate reform one of his top causes since leaving the White House. He calls for more "socially responsible" investing, better protection of workers and greater diversity in corporate management. At the same time, he condemns cronyism, excessive pay for top management and an alleged emphasis on short-term profits at the expense of workers.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton — a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee — has bashed corporations for their failure to live up to their pension obligations.

Yet, as the senior adviser to two investment funds managing public pension funds, Bill Clinton has himself promoted an investment fund that promises to put money into "lower-income urban and rural communities" — but instead devotes its cash to Al Gore's upstart cable channel and his wife's financial supporters.

Wasn't there a teachers union in Fl that got in trouble for spending their pensions on democrat elections?

Who would pay for ex42's investment advice? During his time in office, he did seem to have real experts in positions relating to money matters, unlike many of his non-money appointments (Reno...). As for his own understanding about how an economy actually works....

IIRC he said that he couldn't help Chelsea with her math homework any more when she was in 9th or 10th grade since hadn't had time in his school schedule for "higher math." We never did see his high school or college transcripts.

Only people interested in trading influence and siezing political power. A major red flag for any stakeholders interested in a return on their investment.

And let's don't forget that the BillandHill show plundered the Arkansas state teachers' retirement fund.

It's comforting how some things never change.

And what else would a thinking American expect from these two pieces of human debris?

They're communist agents who took over the White House and practically ruined the country leaving behind piles of trash and bodies.

Putting BillyBoy in charge of anything especially people's money is dumb.

Liz, you posted a thread on FR all most four years ago, and the thread discussed the admitting of the Fox, the Clintoon, into the Chicken Coop of CalPers.

I posted a predictive reply # 97at that time:

The people, who will get screwed on this will be the people who work for states/counties/cities and their retirement fund has investment in this trash. Since 99.999999999999999% of these people are card carrying Rat voting cult members, so be it!

Now suddenly some retired teachers, prinicipals and others are starting to wake up and smell the Clintoon contamination. I just laugh at them and remind them they enabled this pos to do what he has done to America since 1993.

Please ping this to others who might be interested.

Democrat hypocrisy.

No news here.

. . . one of the few significant minority-owned busi nesses that the funds have invested in is Sean John, the clothing enterprise run by that struggling representative of the "lower-income urban community," rap mogul Sean "Puffy" Combs. (A contributor to Hillary Clinton's campaigns with the potential of raising enormous sums for Democrats, Combs is likely to play a prominent role in supporting a Hillary run for the White House in '08.)

The funds' real emphasis, in short, seems to be Democratic cronyism. . . .

Seeding the fields . . .

Wonder how Puff Daddy and company look in saffron?
