Let’s be clear about this. Clinton did little for the economy. The technological boom which was responsible for the growth which happened during his administration was a direct result of the policies of Reagan starting to take hold. This boom was started by a boon in entrepreneurship in the early 90′s, and epitomized by Bill Gates and Jerry Yang. Neither of those guys went into business as a result of anything Clinton did.
Many of the jobs that were created during Clinton’s term were in the dot com sector and were unsustainable and short lived. The idea of his “surplus” is also a myth – for an in depth technical explanation, just Google “myth Clinton surplus.”
The left loves to peddle the idea that “Reaganomics” didn’t do us any good and that they actually screwed the economy but this is just not true, incidentally. For instance, the black middle class grew more under Reagan than under any other US president in history. When was the last time you heard the left offer any kind of recognition of that whatsoever?
