Clinton’s middle class tax cuts were what made the 90s so great. Well, that and having a divided government, that reigned in wasteful spending.
2002-2006 will be remembered as the awful “rubber stamp” years, where a quagmire of a war dragged down our economy (please, no one use the “war helps the economy” crap. That was really only true in WWII which was a special case.)
Clinton cleaned up Reagan’s mess, and Bush has mucked things up again. But, the American people elected him in 2004 (and the supreme court appointed him in 2000), so we’re stuck with him for another two years. I’m cautiously optimistic that this divided government will be a lot more financially responsible than the rubber stamp congress was.
