The results of the "Contract with America" economic policies of the Republican-majority congress, into which he was dragged, screaming and kicking.Titanic wrote:Clinton created almost 23 million jobs, more then any other president in history. Also as I previously stated he sorted out the federal budget by turning a deficit that he inherited from Bush Sr. into a healthy surplus, drastically cut public debt in the USA during his time as president (so much so the debt clock was turned off) and also the economy grew continuously at a good rate throughout his presidency. By increasing taxes by a marginal amount and keeping rates at a constant rate it brought about a lot of stability which is what was needed after 12 years of reckless spending. His economic legacy is one of the best of modern US president, its just a shame that the small parts has unintended consequences many years later.
