Can Clinton’s Prescription Get the Economy ‘Back to Work’?

The Budget surplus (Which the GOP gets no credit for) resulted from large budget cuts that President Clinton and the GOP (controlled both houses) agreed on and the large amount of tax revenue from the tech boom.

The stupid liberals had complete control for 2 years and could only manage to ram Obamacare down our throats while running our debt up over $15 trrillion dollars. Now Slick Willy go back to Monica Lewinsky and leave us alone.

Bill, your toughest task will to be banging it into obama's head, remember he did nothing as a senator !!!!!! He's the guy no one remembers in college and where was he born ????!!!!!!

The same Clinton who promised the nation that NAFTA would create jobs. What he failed to mention was that it created millions of jobs in Mexico and Canada at the direct expense of the US labor market.

Read the "Coming New Dark Ages: The Truth About the U.S. Economy" to see why the debts of the world's advanced economies can be reconciled only by default, regardless of fiscal policies.

Ahh yes Billy bob Clinton...the quintessential "double-wide" prez. Getting reckless with the truth is his mantle. Awww shucks i didnt know you wanted the whole truth folks. I's just kiddin'!

A lot of people are on here complaining, but guess what....THE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON CAN'T HEAR YOU ON HERE!! Want to get their attention? Try emailing, writing, calling, or visiting your elected officials' offices. Try making more noise than you're doing now. Many of you COMPLAIN about Occupy 'whoever', but at least they're DOING something. At least they're worried less about what new car or house they're going to buy, where to go on vacation, which new iPOD is out, et cetera. Washington gets away with what they do because we're distracted by material things, and our own selfishness. Americans don't care what Washington is doind as long as our lives are going well. That's what they count on. Time to make noise...EVEN when things for you are good.

Do you really think those narcissists give a d**n about the average Joe? Read up on the kind of personality that holds the office of the President or other elected officials. They are usually narcissistic personalities, and you know narcissists don't care about anyone but themselves. WE, the AMERICAN people, have to make them care!! WE have to make noise, which will force them to change!

And yes, I write letters each time they send their junk mail to me. I write and send it back!! But ONE person can't make a difference. It will take ALL of us as Americans to force a change!!!

If none of that moves you to take action, how about this? Do you want your children's and grand-children's futures to be stripped from them??

And just what did the Democratically controlled House, Senate and Presidency do for the economy the first two years of Obamas term?? Seems like they had the ability to do anything they wanted yet only passed a health care bill, of which many are already backing off from as being too costly. Yepper, Democrats had ALL the power for two years, yet where are we today?? Democrats had until the last election, majorities in the House and Senate for the last four years, last I remembered the President only approves the budget submitted by the House and Senate. Seems the democrats had a filibuster proof majority for four years and where are we?

As stated here and many times over & over, it is the deadlock that is in Washington, the solution is simple, vote out all of those presently in Washington, get the country back to the people. Do away with automatic annual raises for Congresss & Senate members as well as lifetime benefits and retirements after 1 year. Clean that mess up and perhaps we can make some progress. Get big money out of the elections - special interests have no business and yet our U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it is o.k., is it any wonder judges as well as Senators & Congressmen are bought & paid for???????????????????????

What has the free trade agreement done to manufacturing jobs in America? wasn't that treaty made during Clinton's administration?

We will have jobs as soon as the government gets out of business. If the governement was a business, they would have gone bankrupt over 20 years ago. Name a business that is over $15,000,000,000,000 in the hole, and it's opperating costs are 30% more than they bring in. 2 of the 4.5 trillion a year paid in taxes, goes straight to Fed pensions.

if the Demos are so great why is Grease BR the demos control them how about Italy the Demos control that country to look at all the country's that the demos are incontrol as they all are BR and it is the same here in the US

Ah yes, smart man Mr. Clinton, the one who said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should provide home financing to those with poor credit (i.e. those with proven track records of incurring but not repaying debt). This bit of wisdom put our economy in the toilet when the mortgage industry collapsed. A hole we're still digging ourselves out of. The same "sensible ideas that have been floating around think tanks, policy conferences and White House brainstorming sessions for years" were there when he was in office and he didn't listen to them then.

Umm to bad Democrats have had control of 2/3 of the Federal Government since 2006 and a super majority for 2 years. During that time they brought us all kinds of things that were supposed to "save" the Economy including Obummbers American Recovery and Reinvestment act... You had 2 years of a super majority to WHAT EVER YOU WANTED and still could not get unemployment to change.

I do not have time to comment to all of the people here. I can say please for the sake of the country, read more and stop watching FOX. hahahaha

Bill Clinton is one smart man and Republicans should listen to anything he has to offer on the economy. They need to get their head out of there behind.

BILL CLINTON TRAITOR SELLER OF SECRETS TO THE CHINESE CFR CREEP DESTROYER OF OUR ECONOMY WITH ENDING GLASS STEAGALL TRAITOR CLINTONS ARREST JAIL THEN DO THE SAME TO THE REST OF THE TRAITORS

Bingo. Clinton realizes, too, that without any help from congress, the president is pretty much powerless to enact anything. Which is exactly the republicans strategy. In a way, I'd like to see a republican win the White House, and then the democrats adopt the same tactics against him that the republicans are using against Obama. We'll see how well a republican president performs then. Democrats would never do that though, they aren't mean enough.

Listen to President Clinton, he has a lot of experience in cleaning up after stupid republican presidents.

clinton forceing banks to loan money to people that cant pay it back he is the problem
