not to disagree with you,but he had a lot to do with it IMHO.besides 9/11,what is one of the biggest differences between the economy in the early to mid 90s and now?the cost of gas.why was gas so much cheaper then than now?because clinton was being rewarded by the islamofacist in the middle east for doing nothing about terrorism.You allow us to blame the us and isreal for the crappy condition of our citizens lives,do nothing when they kill your citizens ie first world trade center bombing,blowing up the embassies in kenya,USS Cole etc.we will pump mucho oil,your economy will flourish.after 9/11 bush upset that apple cart deciding that the blood of our fellow americans was worth more than .99 cent gas |

Declassified the Kennedy assassination files early. Why were we waiting so long to see them anyway?

He was responsible for the Republicans taking back the House and Senate...he erased Woodrow Wilson as being the worst President in history. He holds that dishonor now.
We took over the Governorships and 428 Democrats in office, switched to Republican. Good job bent one...you are the worst. |

The best -things- Clinton did:
1 - He was such an asshat that he pissed off a lot of people and we got a Republican Congress. 2 - He was such an asshat that he had that Republican Congress working overtime trying to take him down, and with the Beltway Bandits so focussed on each other the rest of America was left relatively unmolested. |

The more you cut taxes the more money the treasury will receive. Basic economics. When taxes are worst so is spending. When people are not trying to hoard their money from taxes the money flows into the treasury. Capital gains tax rate reduction = overflow of income to Uncle Sam. |

Exactly! This was the best thing that he did. If Bush Sr. would have won we still would have had a Democratic congress all through the nineties. He then coopted the Contract With America and put those plans into action so he could take the credit even though it came from the Republican congress. |

I have to admit, getting a blowjob in the oval office is (although degrating to the U.S. government, our history, and professionalism) pretty ballsy.
If I had the chance, I would. |

Actually I have to give him and his staff credit for that. Sure a monkey could have done it, but a monkey would never get the job, only politicians do. And ANY other politician would have found more things to spend all that new found money on, but Clinton decided to do the right thing and spend less than he earned, something I wish Republicans would learn. But, after that I would say the best thing he did was lie to the American people about Monicagate. If he would have been straight forward and honest Al Gore might be our President right now..........OH DEAR GOD..........that hurt just typing that.........

Okay, there are some good items here, but some really bad ones. So it's Simple Truth Time:
1- FALSEHOOD - Clinton balanced the budget. This is completely false as he (and more importantly, Congress) never did. Even Clinton does not take claim as such. He claims is as "deficit reduction". However, even then, it was done with accounting trickery. Thus, there was no real deficit spending reduction during Clinton's presidency. Proof is in the pudding, sorta speaking. The national debt never went down but continued it's upward climb during that time. 2- FALSEHOOD - Clinton enabled free trade with NAFTA. Clinton's NAFTA that passed bears no resemblence to the NAFTA proposed by Bush and Reagan. Clinton's NAFTA is frought with so many trade exemptions, there is very little difference between now and then, with the exception of loss of jobs in both Canada, Mexico, and the US. The Mexican government largely considers NAFTA a failure and is responsible for their loss of jobs. NAFTA hurt Mexico because it created an overland route for offshore importations of Asian goods that could be counted as "Made in USA" or as non-imported status. Thus, US Companies with Mexican factories began to shutdown manufacturing operations in favor of distribution operations which employ far less. The GM plant in Silao is a great example of this happen. If you want to experience the failure of NAFTA, just try to sell goods in Canada or Mexico and observe the tariffs that kill your sales. Or, if you are not a business person, try to work in either country even if it is for a short week or two. Or, go down to Mexico to a Costco and price compare. You will find that in Mexico, Costco (and Walmart) are where the "rich" people shop due to the high prices Costco must charge for US goods imported into their MX stores. 3- TRUE - One of the worst actions Clinton undertook was pressing the passage of GATT. GATT created our entry into the WTO and the WTC (world trade court) which is nothing more than an anti-American monkey court. We lost sovereignty for our nation. 4- TRUE - Clinton ultimately send the US economy crashing down. This is true as the econonic slowdown begain in 1999 and peaked at 2001. The crash was a result of what economist describe as "overheating the economy", or as Greenspeen desribes as "over-expansion that is unsustainable" or "irrational exuberance". 5- FALSEHOOD - Clinton cut taxes. As a broad statement, Clinton did exactly the opposite. He greatly expand the earned income credit for low wage earners. However, EIC is not really a tax cut but a wealfare program (if you don't understand EIC, look it up on the internet). On average, he raised taxes for the working class. He did, however, sign into law favorable, one-time, tax treatment when selling one's residence but this, by itself, doesn't offset the tax increases. 6- TRUE - Clinton did lobby for the family and medical leave act which was the only good accomplishment Clinton has done while in office. |

2- FALSEHOOD - Clinton enabled free trade with NAFTA. Clinton's NAFTA that passed bears no resemblence to the NAFTA proposed by Bush and Reagan. Sorry, NAFTA is little more than a giveaway of American jobs to Mexico and Canada. Recently, a life-long friend of my father whom has worked with Toshiba for over 20 years, was laid off. Why? The entire plant is shutting down and moving to Mexico. 3- TRUE - One of the worst actions Clinton undertook was pressing the passage of GATT. GATT created our entry into the WTO and the WTC (world trade court) which is nothing more than an anti-American monkey court. We lost sovereignty for our nation. Ok, so NAFTA is a great program and the WTC/WTO isn't? Sorry, pal, both suck ass. Both are undeserving for Americans and BOTH hurt us. |
