<< You'd like to give Clinton credit for the "prosperity" of the 1990s, but you give the Republican Congress, which held spending down, no credit. I think that's called denial.>> Shouldn't you be blaming the Republican congress for the smoke and mirror bubble hangover along with Clinton? Wasn't the CBO projecting surpluses as far as the eye can see? Aren't you in denial by your own standards? What about the more severe recession of '90-'91? Did that represent the failure of the Reagan era expansion? Since the Reagan era expansion was shorter and less robust than the Clinton era expansion, since the following recession was more severe, since during the Reagan era expansion we ran ever increasing deficits while they shrunk to near zero during the Clinton era expansion, and since inflation, interest rates and unemployment were higher during the Reagan era expansion, isn't it clear that, economically speaking, the Clinton era expansion was superior to the Reagan era expansion?
