All you need to understand is that Clinton pumped up the economy like a balloon that was ready to explode when he left, and it did. He also put into place lots of brakes like new SEC rules and the MSFT antitrust case whose effects wouldn't be felt until he was gone. Then, to add to the burst bubble, 9/11 happened, because Clinton had repeatedly failed for 8 years to do anything about bin Laden, despite the 1993 WTC bombing, Khobar Towers, the African embassy bombings, the USS Kole, and several others. The fact that Bush has held the economy together as he has is a feat to be congratulated. You have a selective memory.

especially as productivity goes up. (Is the latter problem due to off-shoring? a Bush approved policy.).... One reason we aren't seeing any wage growth here due to "increased" productivity is because we aren't more productive than in the 90s. It is a statistical anomaly where a job task that is partially offshored (likely having more workers involved than ever before but at a cheaper cost) ends up allocating the entire task to the small set of workers in the US as far as the statistics are concerned. This is not a real productivity gain.
