Sorry, that is blather. The economy chugged along at better than 4% growth for most of the period, and only tanked when they tried to do something about deficits. If it were as you say, the disruption should have occurred years before. Also, the recession was brief and shallow, and was growing when Clinton took office.

Clinton ran deficits through much of his Administration. He did not per se eliminate deficits, we grew out of them, as Reagan predicted.

Your memory is somewhat clouded. The economy was something like 19 months into recovery, before President Clinton took office.

re:"The proof is that once Clinton and Gore completed the reversal of that policy into a Pay-as-you-go responsibility, the economy still hesitated a bit before beginning it's historic strengthening."
