Part of the problem was that during the good years, both parties pushed through some deregulation that allowed for companies like Enron to fuck us all over. Clinton as I've pointed out on other threads tried stopping that from happening.
I think G-man illustrates the problem of this current President with his post. Clinton wasn't just about raising taxes no matter what. Same thing with Bush Senior. Taxes were adjusted as to what was deemed best for the economy. With Bush Jr. the solution has always been increased spending while cutting taxes, no matter what. It's just so sad that the growth occurring these days is in the poverty rate.
