Clinton benefitted from the “Contract With America” and then took credit for what the Republicans in Congress had accomplished.
Clinton didn’t do anything but “surf” on an economic expansion that would’ve taken place with or without Slick Willie.
Those were the heydays of globalization which peaked a decade ago and should continue to fracture throughout the decade.
Biden has no way out no matter what he does, he’s the “fall guy” for a painful economic realignment that has to happen.
Clintonomics was largely a Gingrich program.
Yeah, he should take a page from klinton. On klintons 1st day, GDP was growing at better than 4%. By time the first midterms came up, he along with a dim-0 congress had shrunk that to barely 2%. Republicans took over both houses of congress and the best times economically that we’d seen up till then followed, until ken lay and friends boosted the stock market way out of proportion and then SOLD OUT, leaving grannies who were about to retire on their 401Ks, with nothing. That brought on the recession that was blamed on GW Bush.
Ahem....Newtonomics.
As for Clinton, he inherited the end of the Cold War, the tech boom, and later Y2K, none of which had anything to do with his policies. When he left, the tech boom went bust, manufacturing was already leaving for China thanks to his trade deals, and we had an unchecked Bin Laden to deal with.
No thanks to a repeat of that.
