The job growth during Clinton's terms is due to the peace dividend from ending the Cold War, the 1994 Congressional elections, Y2Ktech investment, telecom expansion from the internet, and the dotcom bubble. Some jobc creatiion was accelerated; some was never justified to begin with.
And then the bubble burst and 911 happened - both knocked the economy down quite a bit.
Yea, but if tax breaks work then after a 2.4 TRILLION tax cut, with 52% going to the top 1%, then the economy should have been booming. Otherwise, what was the purpose of the tax cut?
The economy was doing pretty good.
