you must be kidding the productivity miracle was real. Huge companies were created during Clintons term that validate this. Clinton presided over a classic boom, that eventually overshot like all booms do. I think people forgot what the business climate was in 1990. People were scared to death of the asian tigers. There was no leadership in US business really. Now that has all changed and it didn't change under Bush.

James, we are talking banks leveraging 35-1. name one time the biggest banks in america leveraged 35-1 on this scale before clinton's policies turned dotcom money losers into $100 millionaires? it seems as though you don't think it is reasonable to ascribe the events of one's presidential policies to to the president. that view would surely make the likes of bush feel much better about themselves. derivatives hit over $500 trillion in 2007... $500,000,000,000,000 after the clinton administration made $100 millionaires of people who could never turn a profit. not before. but hey, clinton was one likeable pathological liar, so in can see your infatuation with him. i just don't share it.
