The Clinton Admin worked, quite well. Productivity was high and rising when he left. The economic record of Dems vs Reps is quite clear, and not favorable to the right, including, indeed especially including, the far-right economic views of Mr. Paul. This bullshit about the tech boom is exactly that, bullshit. There was one under Mr. Reagan too, but I never see you righties mentioning that when talking about him. The American economy has always been about technology, whether it be brass, railroads, cars, airplanes, telephones, radios, televisions, or in the present day, computers and the internet and all the associated stuff that goes with it. So that argument is an argument from ignorance, pathetic ignorance, about this country's economic strength.
