Clinton economy [View All]

[AndyP]

OK. One of my co-workers and I are arguing about why the economy was so good when Clinton was in office and now it's crappy under Bush. What steps did Clinton take to make the economy so good. My co-worker thinks that the rise of the economy in Clinton's administration and the fall of the economy in the Bush administration is just due to the natural rise and fall of the economy, saying that we cannot sustain a period of growth indefinitely.

I was a little too young to care when Clinton was President so I'm not really familiar with the steps he took to fix the recession that he inherited from Bush 1. I'll go look around and see what I can find, but I figured it would be quick to post here since everyone here is pretty knowledgeable. Thanks in advance :)
