Clinton Fears For Charities During Economic Crisis.
On Monday former President Bill Clinton said that with all the financial crisis going on he fears that charitable investments are going to suffer. “Around the world, the thing that I worry most about with other stock markets going down and the American market here is that it will reduce the availability of capital … to do things that otherwise make good sense,” Clinton said. Clinton’s very own fourth annual Clinton Global Initiative started Tuesday.
