A great interview here which inter alia draws comparisons between the Democratic administration of FDR and that of Obama.
Between an administration staffed by a great number of self-educated & motivated people and the other by  an army of Ivy Leaguers.
Between a Secretary of the Treasury who was a small town banker from Texas and one brought in from Citibank, one who dealt with the banking crisis in the 1930s and one who didn't in 2008.
Between an administration which lifted millions out of poverty and one which lifted 20% into wealth and left 80% behind.

Worth a listen.

Marla will be pleased to hear that Clinton will help those with student loans (probably Ivy Leaguers) who go into "innovation" or "tech entrepreneurship".

Bojack might discover something to his advantage about the progressive or liberal upwardly mobile mindset and agenda.
