No. For starters i HATE the party system, and i think the democrats are complete idiots. Why? Pro-choice. A Life is a life no matter how developed.
I also hate the republicans. Why? Tax cut this! Tax cut that! More money! lol.
I consider myself a 'Radical Moderate'. I fall in between everyone, and sometimes have radical views 
now about the economy, your also looking at a very small picture. Look where the economy was BEFORE clinton came in. It was in shambles. Like it or not, the GOVERNMENT BUDGET was balanced. Bush pushed for tax cuts. In reality thats not going to help anything. That is unless you give power back to the states and actually decrease the size of the federal gov't. To say clinton ruined the economy makes no sense. The economy always has ups and downs. Sure it was SLIGHTLY down when he left office. But really, inferring that its due to that that we are where we are now is ludicrous. in reality the terrorists ruined the economy. It probably would have taken an upturn if sept 11 never happened. People are just looking for a scapegoat.
Really, unemployement was at it's lowest in over 20 yrs when clinton left office.
The argument that clinton ruined the economy is really a moot one. The fact of the matter is the gov't economy was in excellent condistion when he left, and the stocks were taking there usual slump that comes around every couple years. Even though out economy isnt as good right now, it's still pretty darn good. look at the stock market. dow is still above 8k. ANd one more thing.
Why is it the president always gets linked to the cause of economic status? a president can only do so much in relation to the economy. The rest is up to us as citizens, and of course, the companies, businesses and employers of this country. THEY are the root of the economy, not ANY president.
