thetribe Wrote:Bill Clinton was the greatest president that this country has ever had. He signed into law measurements to revitalize the economy and renew the American community. He won Congressional approval of a massive deficit reduction plan to boost standards and create jobs. There was a barrier-breaking trade agreement with Mexico and aid to Russia. Also he made tax cuts for small businesses and the working poor. The Brady Bill was also a big thing which required a waiting period before gun purchase.
Under President Clinton's leadership, almost 6 million new jobs were created in the first two years of his Administration -- an average of 250,000 new jobs every month.
In 1994, the economy had the lowest combination of unemployment and inflation in 25 years.
As part of the 1993 Economic Plan, President Clinton cut taxes on 15 million low-income families and made tax cuts available to 90 percent of small businesses, while raising taxes on just 1.2 percent of the wealthiest taxpayers.
President Clinton signed into law the largest deficit reduction plan in history, resulting in over $600 billion in deficit reduction. The deficit is going down for 3 years in a row for the first time since Harry Truman was president.
And yes, the only reason that George W. considered going to war with Iraq was to finish what his daddy started and couldn't. People are starting to get real antsy about the rising price of oil, particularly those voters who have invested in SUV's and are finding their commutes to be getting nearly as costly as their mortgage payments, as the price of gasoline begins to near the $4/gallon mark. This is a great time for one of the presidential candidates to step in and save the day, gathering in November IOU's from the voters at the same time. George W. Bush, for one, probably thinks that would be a great move, particularly since, in the mind of at least one economic pundit, he was instrumental in causing the shortage in the first place. It's VERY simple, W does what makes Daddy happy.
WOW! Thank goodness there is someone here that I agree with. Bill definitely made a lot more progress than nearly any other president. But his legacy was tarnished by something stupid. Personally, I would take him over a hypocrit like Georgie Jr. anyday of the week--even with the Lewinsky situation.
How many people do the same thing in the real world? Remember--a president is supposed to be a representation of our country--and there a lot of people who have done worse. The only difference is--Bill was still doing well for our country--and not getting us involved in a war that his Daddy couldn't win!
Right on thetribe!
