You act as if I dont't know poor people... ignoring you know... the fact where i mentioned I actually qualify for basicallly free haelthcare under this bill.

Also your compairing Bush and Clinton as if Bush caused the GIANT RECESSION that happened.

How did Clinton caused this Giant recession? the tax increase? the balance budget? the surplus?

I have heard this idea a lot, but mostly from one side, but wasnt congress Republican controlled?

See... here is where you are offering two conflicting points.

You are saying both

A) The good economy was Clinton's job.

and

B) But if the Clinton era did cause it... it was the Republicans in congress fault.

So which is it?  Who was responsible for the good economy?  Clinton or the Republicans in congress.

If it was good it must be the democrats, though if i'm wrong it's the republicans fault?

 

The answer is NEITHER.  What made the economy so good under clinton was the internet mostly.  The internet created a LOT of new wealth which was then invested by the new rich milllionaires in all sorts of different things.

Nobody was responsible for Mark Cuban, outside of Mark Cuban and the internet creating the right market for people like Mark Cuban.

As for the recession... well that was a NUMBER of presidents fault.

You need to use statistical measures to take out confounding variables like that.  A large part of how well your economic policy looks to someone with an untrained eye is going to be based soley on dumb luck.

You forgot Real estates. But I do agree that the internet played  a huge part, but it happened during the Clinton's years. And just like if things were bad he would have been blamed for it ( OBAMA), Clinton gets the credit when things were good. The people liked it and approved of his job even through some embarrassing period for a president.
