And here we are on the internet thanks to Gore and others. Clinton never signed any bill which made dot-coms the hot deregulated boom sector, unlike Reagan who signed the S+L deregulation bill which ended up costing tax-payers over 300 billion or in today's dollars more than a half trillion. That was my only point. Clinton did create a balanced budgeted government which laid the perfect foundation for an economic boom. But nothing he did directly promoted the dot-com frenzy. That we can blame on ourselves and everyone on Wall Street trading stocks. Remember CMGI at $200 being the one stock analysts recommended every portfolio should contain? We'd all like to forget our idiocy there (unless we sold and never got back in). LOL Seriously S+L and dot-com two very different things. One was tax-payer financed because of deregulation, the other was just a market phenomenon. I don't know any expert who blames anything Clinton did for the 90's dot-com bubble and to claim such a thing is misleading.
