28. LOL you are a funny guy HM
And you are apparently wearing rose colored glasses when you view the past decade. The economy that you touted as so good was built on a stock market bubble and a hi tech bubble. In reality things like well paying manufacturing jobs took a hike under the Clinton passed NAFTA(so much for the Dems union base), we achieved a record disparity between the rich and the rest of us. Underemployment reached record proportions(that continue to grow today), we transitioned to a full blown service economy rife with low paying McJobs. Security took a hike as the number of working poor exploded to record proportions. And the hi-tech bubble that Clinton built this "great economy" on, well Clinton insured it's demise with the passage of NAFTA, GATT, and an expanded H-1B visa program. As far as good will goes, hah, I guess you missed out on all of the liberal bashing that went on, the widening of the racial divide, and the increased hostility of hard right conservatives and the religous right.

No, there was nothing fair at all about Clinton's society, or his administration.
