<<If the recession is Clinton's fault, how come it took EIGHT YEARS to do it?>> Just shows how strong of a house Reagan built along with the efforts of the Republicans trying to preserve it while Clinton was in the process of destroying it....Time for a tax hike dumbsh*t? . .

Have you ever heard of operation marketgarden, the story of a bridge to far. Well the story of mr. bill is the story of operation oval officelax. Until mr. bill went a sperm to far he was only concerned with ladies under his desk and after he got caught he was only concerned with saving his butt. 6 years of do nothing allow the private sector to show how working folks do it with the government not in there face. Now as mr. bill had finally saved his butt he looked around and found an economy going gang buster and decided to issue thousands of new regulations so as to leave a lasting screw up of breaking what was fixed. That's your eight years. Or read what really happened. Message 15656462 tom watson tosiwmee

very simple, really... Since tax rates had already been cut during the 1980's, Federal tax revenues (as a % of GDP), although rising during Clinton's term, did not reach all-time record levels until year 2000. When they did reach all-time record levels, the economy tanked.
