The Clinton era was a relatively pacific one, in which the good times rolled, and we had budget surpluses. Plus the guy has a certain charm. The numbers do not surprise me.
who cares what 900 people think about that criminal...they probably would of gave Tookie 60%
On paper we had surpluses. It was the accounting scandal that was bigger than Enron but never reported as such.
Relatively pacific...hmmm the calm before the storm by his usual overlooking the build up of terrorist activities and his stripping of the military budget to create a surplus, yeah, he had a certain charm. A sociopath's type of charm; a con man to boot. The numbers don't surprise me either; the people that liked him before lived in a dream world of his making, the crap hit the fan towards the end of his illustrious career as president, both the step up in terrorist attacks and the collapse of the dot.com go-go economy. He will go down in history as one of the worst presidents, and his dalliances were better than Harding's or Roosevelts. And to finish, I'm sure plenty other parents had the following problem; after all his sexcapades in the White House making the news, it was a wonderful experience trying to explain to a seven year old what a hummer was....
We did not have any budget surpluses while Clinton was President.
They came during Bush's first term. Clinton was given credit, but it was Congress that caused them.
What charm? a bullshit artist.
