Sup, I don't feel any president is truely responsible for econmoic activity unless they enact a bold policy with obvious effect. The American people make the economy go or not. With Reagan, you can see that he did some VERY bold things regarding the governments influence in business and tax reduction. I give him some credit for the boom, but far from all. With regards to Clinton, he did what? NAFTA? Where are these bold moves that you can link to? In all fairness however, a President who does next to nothing during a boom is doing the right thing (Clinton) but that is FAR from making him responsible for said boom. Clinton did get lucky, very much so, I don't know how you can claim otherwise. If not for his tax increases I would give him a solid B on the economy just for staying the hell outaa the way. If I missed some bold move of his that spurred the 90's growth I welcome an education, seriously.
