>>Clinton is responsible for the fiscal policy. Congress took that away. Remember he fought the balanced budget. See:http://www.exchange2000.com/~wsapi/investor/reply-3269063 part: The administration's record of accomplishment is apparent for all to see. There was the $20-billion Stimulus Package that Mr. Clinton offered in 1993 . . . but that brilliant idea was rejected by Congress even when his own party controlled it. Then there was Hillarycare--but it never came to a vote. Then there were all those Investments in Our Children's Future. You remember: The massive appropriations in that first budget the president submitted to Congress after the Republican landslide of '94. That budget, by its own reckoning, called for annual deficits of more than $200 billion as far as the eye could see. Bill Clinton fought tooth and toenail against all those heartless cuts in his budget that the Republicans made. He refused for more than nine months to submit a balanced budget of his own because he wanted to protect the country from the draconian sacrifices that a balanced budget would require. He vetoed one version of welfare reform, then signed another under protest only after painting a stark picture of the horrors it would cause. He fought especially hard against all those irresponsible Republican tax cuts now fueling the economy. But if you doubt that Bill Clinton and his hard-working administration don't deserve the credit for this wave of prosperity, just look at the results. After his proposals for government-approved health care, the country's health-care system is adjusting to the economic realities, if on its own. And after his opposition to a balanced budget, welfare reform, and tax cuts, look at what's happened: The budget is being balanced, welfare is being reformed, tax cuts have been made and still more are being proposed--if not by Bill Clinton at the moment.
