Actually, I would give some credit to Bob Rubin for his strong dollar policy and for his policy of shifting the Federal debt from long to shorter maturities. He understood very early on that we were in a deflationary phase and took advantage of it. On the other hand, he is also the guy who was fighting to maintain capital gains at 28%, which was really a subversion of a key component of the deal struck by Reagan and Tip O'Neill/Bill Bradley in the 86 Tax reform.
