"Under Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history."
Got a link to that factoid? Or is that just your personal opinion?
You want a link to to the fact? I posted a direct quote.
Here you go:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/bc42.html
Here are some key points:
- the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history
- the lowest unemployment rate in modern times
- the lowest inflation in 30 years
- the highest home ownership in the country's history
- dropping crime rates in many places
- reduced welfare rolls
- proposed the first balanced budget in decades
- achieved a budget surplus
Hurts doesn't it?
If it is so cut and dry why doesn't every president just follow Clinton's economic "doctrine"? We will have guaranteed growth forever. It would be like outlawing recessions. What a great idea!
