The economy did not “collapse” well before Clinton left office, Hillarycare went nowhere so had no negligible effect on anyone (but was top of mind and probably still is for those who listen to Rush and watch Fox). Monicagate was a result of a Republican controlled congress who had Ken Starr on the public payroll spending two years and stopping all progress in congress to investigate an affair between two consenting adults. Can anyone explain why Ken Starr was investigating this in the first place? And accomplishments – can you say deficit reduction and peace? (And please don’t tell me how his lack of attention to middle-east terrorists was the sole reason for 9/11. Bush 2 did nothing prior to 9/11 on terrorism).

And as for Reagan, no president has had history be more kind to him. The collapse of the Soviet Union was a result of 50 years of containment, not eight years of Reagan, and Reagan’s tax-cutting resulting in bigger defiicits. One thing I will say about Reagan is at least he, unlike Bush 2, recognizes you will actually have to stop cutting taxes if deficits keep climbing.

Hilary care? The 1994 Congressional turn-over when the Republicans took control of the House and Senate after 60 years of Democratic control? Monicagate? Campaign finance corruption? Clinton was a great speaker – but not a successful politician. The economy did pretty well – in the midst of the Internet Bubble, but began to collapse long before he left office. What did he accomplish? Ronald Reagan, albeit a conservative and loathed by the left – accomplished a lot by turning the economy around, restoring confidence in the US, and winning the cold war. Reagan – and Welch – articulated ‘sticky’ ideas – and got things done.

What I experience is: It’s normally tough to rise above masses. Once you’re on the top, whatever you say becomes ‘sticky’ !
