Harry, how's this....the longest running economic expansion in the history of the US.

Personally, I get a little sick of the Dems trying to take credit for something that had absolutely nothing to do with Clinton.

In my mind the so-called economic expansion was a result of the growth of the internet and technology businesses. It just happened Clinton was there when it reached its peak. This technology revolution is continuing, but it is simply occurring in waves. The first big wave is over, but as bandwidth starts to expand and security issues are addressed, another wave will follow.

To attribute the ecomonic expansion to Clinton sort overlooks the fact that it began before Clinton took office and ended before he left office. So how can anyone attribute the expansion to Clinton? It is evident that, had he been in office for another year this would be CLINTON's economic crisis, not Bush's, or had he taken office a year later it would have been a continuation of Bush's recovery NOT Clinton's "expansion".
