Okay, here are some comparisons (this is Administration to Administration, and thus includes the Volcker recession):
The poverty rate averaged 14.08 under Reagan, vs. 13.71 under Clinton.
GDP: Reagan/3.36, Clinton/3.75
Median family income (constant dollars): R/43,046, C/45,500
Median black family income: R/25,536, C/28,668
This is enough for right now. By the way, the site is a pro- Clinton site, but the figures can't hide that Clinton's record is unimpressive, when one factors in the 81 recession.
