Buy stock in cigar manufacturers and dry cleaners.
Clinton only knows how to take credit for it, he didn’t cause it, Reagan made those tough decisions with the tax cuts that kicked in during the Clinton era. Clinton tried to stop it and Gingrich shut down the gov twice to keep Clinton in line.
Bill got lucky with the dot.com boom and strong opposition following the 94 elections.
David Stockman has a VERY long piece also attributing the boom in the 90’s to Greenspan’s misguided policies.
Stockman: Clinton-Era Prosperity Was Merely Greenspan Bubble Finance
No More Twofers——Why The Vaunted “Clinton Prosperity” Of The 1990s Is A Risible Myth
People apparently forget about the stagflation of Clinton’s first term, when he enjoyed a Democrat majority in congress. A big reason for the GOP “takeover” for the first time in 30 years. The 90’s economic boom was thanks to GOP policies, and Greenspan’s easy money.
Bill Clinton, with a Democrat Congress, was sworn in with an economy growing at 2.9%. Two years later, when the Gingrich Congress took over, Clinton and Democrats reduced growth to 0.9% and falling.
Bill Clinton has no idea how to fix an economy, but he and his ilk on Capitol Hill have long experience in trying to wreck one.
Bill had a great formula for fixing the economy.
That is BILL GATES, in conjunction with

History of BJ’s administration minus these 3 guys influence/actual accomplishments would have made Ol BJ the 2nd HOOVER !!!
