Let me just say that Clinton's expansion refuted many common beliefs held by economists. " How about some LINKS that support this contention? Why? Do you believe I made it up? Here's one link showing one long time myth that was discredited by the '90s expansion: "For decades, the conventional economic wisdom has been that allowing unemployment to fall below 6% would destabilize the economy by triggering inflation. A new book published today by the Economic Policy Institute shows how the jobs boom of the second half of the 1990s discredited that theory. Unemployment fell to 4% during that period, raising wages and reducing poverty along the way, without triggering a corresponding rise in inflation." 72.14.203.104
