You should point out to your poor misled friend that any real good that was accomplished under Clintoon's "reign" was largely the result of having a Republican congress.

As recent events would now confirm it would appear that a good share of the so-called unprecedented economic performance was due to widespread financial reporting fraud that occurred under Clintoon's watch, and was discovered under W's. As a former federal employee I can attest to the fact that virtually every government agency fudges their books and reports, and as most government employees vote for the RATS, it does not stretch credulity to believe they would fudge certain vital statistical data to enhance their boss's agenda.

BTW, in a 1991 graduate finance class I predicted the future economic performance would be driven by political manipulation, not actual performance. How did I know that? Not by my superior knowledge of finance, economics, or accounting, but by my knowledge of democrats and government employees.
