What a crock. Cliton was lucky to be in office when Bill Gates et al were getting into their game. The technology revolution and increased productivity fueled the economic boom. Coupled with the peace dividend from Ronnie Reagan's winning the Cold War, Cliton rode the perfect wave.

In fact, Cliton planted the seeds of the downturn by doing things like waging war on Microsoft, the greatest engine of productivity since Ford began mass-producing automobiles. Cliton's ego required that he battle Bill Gates, which depleted both the federal coffers and the economy by diverting resources from productive use, while hog-tying the inventor of the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Cliton also set the mousetrap for the downturn through a variety of last-minute administrative mechanisms, like Regulation FD, which didn't help investors but which cooled the high tech investment sector and which - conveniently for Cliton - took effect only at the end of his term.

Cliton set a number of booby traps to go off near the end of his term and have their effects felt afterward, in an effort to glorify himself and his tenure. As time passes, this will become more apparent.
