The Newt Gingrich and the Republicans controlled the House of Representatives for the last six years of the Clinton presidency. Clinton was a lot smarter than 0bama. Clinton made deals with Gingrich and the Reagan boom was still continuing. Of course, Clinton claims ALL of the credit.
Repubs controlled Congress for only the last four years of the Clinton presidency. Clinton deserves no credit for doing what Republicans forced him to do.
Slick Willie’s giant tax increase in 1993 overshadowed everything else in his presidency. He agreed to a Republican capital gains tax cut but then tried to shut down Microsoft for anti-trust reasons. We are still suffering from the high income tax rates that Clinton foisted on us. No thanks to Bush I and his “read my lips” tax increase, either.
sorry, you’re right. it was six years. A little brain-lock there. I will go sit in the corner with a dunce cap. :-)
