Yes, you are invincibly ignorant.

Reagan left the US immeasurably better off at home and abroad, despite the deficits the speedthrift Dem Congress produced. He inherited a devasted economy which his policies brought back from double digit unemployment, inflation and interest rates. As for the budget, it would have been balanced under Bush had not the speedthrift Dems gone back on their promises.

Clinton arrived with an economy that was growing robustly. His tax increase cut that growth but could not overwhelm the dynamic economy he inherited. Thankfully, Clinton failed at everything else he attempted, except his full-time job, which was clinging to office with the help of the stupid 43-49% of which you are no doubt a charter member.

Clinton's plans had nothing to do with encouraging or producing economic growth or reducing the deficit. His plans to expand government were neutered by a GOP Congress and Greenspan. The latter provided adult supervision of the Boy-President and the former forced a balanced budget on him despite his extreme racalcitrance. Dick Morris and Woodward "The Agenda", have said as much.
