Hillary Rodham Clinton pointed to the 1990s as a time of broad-based prosperity under her husband, former President Bill Clinton, contrasting it Friday with policies under Republicans that she said promoted tax cuts for the wealthy and the emergence of an entire shadow banking system.

Did she recall the effect that Reagan had that carried over for them to enjoy?
Dodd-Frank/Clinton....the true root of the meltdown which happened years later.

Another “what difference does it make” moment, potentially.
If he had a Dem congress during the tech boom, he could have derailed it, especially by dumping something like Obamacare on top of it. Imagine if Hillarycare/Teddycare (single-payer) went through back then?
This is horseblank. If we’re going to have a pissing contest about economic conditions under different presidents, she needs to own up to Obama’s record in this area. Bill Clinton is ancient history.
