Timber,

I didn't vote for Clinton, but I think it's a stretch to say that Reaganomics had anything to do with the boom we enjoyed during Clinton's years. Lest we forget, the economy was in a significant recession when the 92 elections were on. You're going to tell us that policies from 5 years before Clinton took office caused that recession to go away?

Recessions happen, and a lot of economists think that they are largely outside of the ability for administrations to control. The best thing we can do is try to not make them worse.
