They just need to ask Al Gore to invent the internet.
Again.
Of course he does.
He fixed Haiti.
Basically Clinton had the benefit of the bank crashes from Carter still being paid through Bush 2 and Ross Perot sucking votes from the Republican Bush that he hated.
Clinton gets in and Internet stock goes up irrationally, then crashes into s recession when he leaves.
Signed NAFTA.
Did reform welfare due to pressure from our future Vice President Newt Gingrich.
Still about the worst President ever allowing Loral to give China rocket and guidance technology to advance their nuclear missiles to the point of complete accuracy anywhere in the world instead of just blowing up on their launch pads.
About the worst, maybe the trouble Pbama caused and debt are worse.
Oh yes he does.
Just say you are inheriting the worst economy ever.
Have the previous guys give you a peace dividend.
Get Algore to invent something big like the interwebs.
Create a housing bubble.
Get a fiscally conservative Congress that you can berate as you wink-wink.
Have somebody create a dot com bubble.
Treat youself to a Y2K bubble.
Walk away before anyone notices that you left us with the worst recession ever.
If he knows, he should tell Obama and the rest of us now. There’s really no time to lose.
He just needs a couple of things to duplicate the economic conditions of the ‘90s.
1. - Create another Dot-Com boom
2. - Hope another gargantuan socialist state collapses.
Bill had a great formula for fixing the economy. Go full socialist for two years, inspire a backlash that gets voters to install the first GOP House in 40 years, oppose that Congress but finally give in, and take credit for all the things they did, which would have been better if you hadn’t fought them.
He will give it as much effort as he gave the Haiti Earthquake relief effort.
I also thought he raised taxes and said afterwards that he thought he raised it too much.
I also believe he was the first to use the SS "trust money" to balance the budget....making it just a bunch of IOU's
Bill will do the same to our economy as he has done to every woman who trusted him.
Not to mention the fact that this Bill Clinton does not have the mental acuity of the 80’s Bill Clinton. Despite his flaws, the old BC was smart and energetic(that’s another discussion). The current BC needs his diapers changed and his pills dispensed.
Plus, what the hill is Hellary thinking handing the economy off. That is probably her single worst idea since she started the campaign. It shows massive weakness on so many levels.
The best, and only way to fix the economy, is to leave it the hell ALONENESS. Get rid of the high taxes on business and the myriad of useless, liberal regulations, and the economy will right itself. That’s how capitalism works.
Wasn’t it Clinton and Gore who famously said they “didn’t know how to keep Reagan’s boom going” .. or something like that.
Well .. if Clinton didn’t know that when he was President; why on earth would Hillary believe her husband would know anymore now .. especially with all his womanizing issues.
The economy will fix itself if government simply gets out of the way.
Clinton only knows how to take credit for it, he didn’t cause it, Reagan made those tough decisions with the tax cuts that kicked in during the Clinton era. Clinton tried to stop it and Gingrich shut down the gov twice to keep Clinton in line.
Bill got lucky with the dot.com boom and strong opposition following the 94 elections.
David Stockman has a VERY long piece also attributing the boom in the 90’s to Greenspan’s misguided policies.
People apparently forget about the stagflation of Clinton’s first term, when he enjoyed a Democrat majority in congress. A big reason for the GOP “takeover” for the first time in 30 years. The 90’s economic boom was thanks to GOP policies, and Greenspan’s easy money.
Bill Clinton, with a Democrat Congress, was sworn in with an economy growing at 2.9%. Two years later, when the Gingrich Congress took over, Clinton and Democrats reduced growth to 0.9% and falling.
Bill Clinton has no idea how to fix an economy, but he and his ilk on Capitol Hill have long experience in trying to wreck one.
