Ted, be honest with yourself. It's ludicrous to say that Clinton's mere presence kept the economy healthy, or that the mere prospect of Bush becoming president caused it to tank. That borders on personality worship. Tenchusatsu

Tenchusatsu, the recession began either in the last month of the 4th quarter of 2000, or the first quarter of the new year. In Dec., 2000, Clinton was a lame duck prez, and guess who was prez in the first quarter of 2001? Ted, did you ever have like, an introductory economics course? Say, Econ 201-2, something like that? I wasn't an economics major, I think I had maybe 6 hours undergrad & 6 graduate. But I do seem to recall something about how ANYTHING government does will take 18 months to affect the economy. Do you remember anything like that? The reality is that Clinton did nothing to help or hurt the economy. Bush did nothing to help or hurt the economy. Bush 41 did nothing to help or hurt the economy. Economic cycles happen.
