Neither. The scope of the debate is far too narrow.

No talk about poverty, wealth inequality, the disappearing middle class, police brutality, stop & frisk, the ever-expanding surveillance state, closing Guantanamo, NDAA, union-busting, the assault on public education, fracking, the Keystone oil pipeline, climate change, the UN arms treaty, etc.


Well the last president that actually cared about poor people was LBJ.  I'm pretty sure no one of this forum is actually old enough to remeber his presidency.

I'd argue Jimmy Carter.  Though unfortunitly Jimmy Carter was using Keynsian economics at the time which lead to massive Stagflation.

 

Argueably Clinton when he increased the CRA as well (though again... ended up as a negative rather then a positive.)
