“Clinton often boasts about her husbands economic record on the campaign trail, leaning heavily on his record of raising wages and creating jobs.”

They all glommed on and tried to take credit for it. Then they fled when the tech bubble popped back down to the reality of the industry.
You can add to that the entire Baby Boomer population producing 40-hour work weeks filling those coffers and now getting stabbed in the back with social security benefits.
Exactly. A drunk monkey could have been President during the tech boom and the economy would have soared the same.
