I am sure I could advance some such policies of the Clinton administration. But I hate the bastard so I'm not going to bother.

Second, he cut spending by reforming the TANF program, commonly known as welfare. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 required recipients to get a job within the first two years. It limited the total time they could receive benefits to five years. The number of TANF recipients fell by two-thirds. It went from 12.2 million in 1994 to 4.5 million in 2004. Third, he signed the North American Free Trade Agreement. It eliminated tariffs between the United States, Canada and Mexico. It's the largest trade agreement in the world. He created 21.5 million jobs during his eight years in office. That's more jobs than any other President. The above came from The Balance. There's much more on Wikipedia (not really a quick read):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econom...administration |

To Be Completely Accurate...

This is why I have never been a fan of giving the president credit or blame for the economy unless there is a clear cause and effect. Carter passes the CRA in 1977 and the housing market crashes in 2007. Bush gets the blame. Bush was the fourth president and 30 years had past since Carter and the Dems passed the CRA.

The only thing the Dems put forth in the 90s was the Assault Weapons Ban and that decimated their ranks in the mid term elections a few months later in November 1994. For the rest of his presidency (when he wasn't busy getting his knob polished by Monica Lewinsky) he was signing legislation sent to him by Newt and the GOP majority in Congress. That's why his administration is viewed so favorably.

The fact is Bill Clinton was president during an unprecedented growth in technology. Even his raising taxes was not enough to screw up the economy. Quote:
Second I believe that while a balanced budget can foster a favorable economic environment it in no way creates the the booming economy that we saw in the 90s. Quote:
Clinton took office on Jan 20 1993. NAFTA passed the Senate Nov 20 1993. NAFTA was started before Clinton was elected while GHW Bush was still in office. NAFTA was passed by the US Senate by a 61 to 39 margin with 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats voting in favor. The Senate consisted of 57 Democrats and 43 Republicans. NAFTA was signed by Clinton but it was far from a Clinton policy or for that mater a Democratic policy. Again I am still waiting on a Clinton Policy that created the 90's economy. Quote:
I do give him credit for not screwing it up. He could have tried to raise taxes a second time. I have no doubt that if Dems had control of both houses with a booming economy they would have tried

I'm not writing the ACA is perfect, but it takes 2 sides working together, 1 simply has been owned by the insurance companies and do not want ANY deal. Survival of the richest and most entitled. But this topic (when it's on-topic) is about John McCain's who in my view is very hypocritical, and a poor representative to step into the Mayo clinic for himself and then vote with no conscience to deny what he received to others.

The final vote, held around 1:30 early Friday morning, was 51 to 49 against. The three Republicans who voted against it were Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, and, yes, Arizona Sen. John McCain, who ultimately lived up to his word about abandoning a secretive, partisan, rushed process and returning to regular order to consider fixing Obamacare’s flaws. McCain kept how he would vote a mystery until he reached the floor, telling source
