Oh, wait, a new Admin was elected. How has that worked for us? Two wars with no tax increase on those able to pay for it?

I agree it was irresponsible to not pay for two wars, but instead pretending we could just add the costs to the annual debt.

However, the boom of the 90’s was only marginally dependent upon Clinton policies. The post cold war relaxation of the arms race, the flow of oil from the North Sea, the liberalization of China’s economy, etc., etc. all worked together to make it a time when real growth world wide was possible.
