First of all, Clinton is not a liberal for one thing. To a conservative, believe me, he is a damned liberal. Secondly, if a President doesn't deserve full credit for 7 straight years of boom times then who does Business cycles happen. While presidents can have minor influence, it is largely Congress who controls the economy as they collect and spend the money. Now, some presidents, by effectively managing the relationship with Congress, have effected a desirable economic change. Reagan, for example. In Clinton's case, the economy had suffered a moderate recession prior to his taking office, and that economic recovery was underway well before he took office. The big thing was the technology boom that occurred in the late 90s (much of which we're paying for today). The simple truth is that the technology boom would have occurred with or without Clinton. Hell, here I go again, responding to you. this is it. Where is that ignore button, anyway?
