If one bothers to remember, Clinton deserves none of the credit for the economy during his presidency. The Republican congress kept him and Hildebeast from screwing up what he inherited from Reagan/Bush. GWB on the other hand turned things around after 911 with his tax cuts. Of course, he does not get credit for that.

The dot.com era along with Newt and Kassick along with Monnica paved the way for Clinton. Not to forget he cooked the books for AlGore. And the gutting of the Military saved millions but left us were we are. The Iraq war spending (I agree with the war) but there would be no deficit.

The only reason the Clinton economy did not crash and burn is that the price of oil plummeted after Bush freed the Kuwaiti oil fields. GW doesn’t have the benefit of that twist of luck, and yet he’s kept the economy humming. If only GW had been in charge in the 1990’s... We’d all be retired now, living off the wealth produced by cheap oil in the 90’s.
