Recession Began With Clinton, Says JEC

Posted Oct. 15, 2002

Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2002

The death-drop of the stock market did not begin with the Bush administration in January 2001, says the congressional Joint Economic Committee (JEC), but in March 2000 under the Clinton administration when it began its all-out attack on the entrepreneurs of the booming U.S. high-tech industry. Indeed, The Economist reports that this poisoning of the economic stream even may have begun in the late 1990s. According to JEC Chairman Rep. Jim Saxton, "The 2000 NASDAQ collapse also corroborates a variety of other data indicating that a sharp economic slowdown was under way by the middle of 2000."

For details on the Clinton economic panic that began in 2000, visit the Joint Economic Committee's Website.

The biggest myth that exists today is that the average voter believes that the federal government can control the macro-economy.

According to a CNN story, "Did the recesssion begin in 2000?" the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER.org)is considering moving official beginning date of recession from March 2001, back to November 2000. This of course would be a plus for GWB. But also the truth...
