OT The credit really belongs to the private sector not the pols. As for a bungle in the 80s, it took 15-20 percent interest rates and 11 percent unemployment in by Volcker to kill off Opec, inflation, and IMO the Soviets who depended on high energy prices for income. (EDIT - The Iran-Iraq war also helped keep oil prices low.) Unemployment fell to 5-5.5 percent under Reagan. The 90-91 recession raised unemployment to about 7.2 percent. Bush/Clinton benefitted from fall of Soviets to cut defense spending, a Republican congress that killed a national health care boondoggle, and a Republican balanced budget plan in 1994. As for Clinton, he's doing the same thing the other presidents of both parties have been doing - raiding SS.
