Why weren't you celebrating Clinton during the 90s if 4.1% is such
great shakes?


I celebrated the republican congress from '94 on...

There wasn't any growth in Clinton's first two years.


I 1992 4.2
II 1992 3.9
III 1992 4.0
IV 1993 4.5
I 1993 .5
II 1993 2.0
III 1993 2.1
IV 1994 5.5

In fact, there wasn't a quarter of negative growth from the beginning
of his administration until the third quarter of 2000, which was -.5,
following one of the strongest quarters ever (6.4.)

In fact, when they talk about the recession starting on President
Clinton's watch, they're talking about 3 weeks before the end of his
watch. Now *that's* some economic parsing.
