In a Dean Baker article published Tuesday with the astonishing title “There Is No Santa Claus and Bill Clinton Was Not an Economic Savior,” the second sentence read, “Just as little kids have to come to grips with the fact that there is no Santa Claus, it is necessary for millions of liberals, including many who think of themselves as highly knowledgeable about economic matters, to realize that President Clinton's policies sent the economy seriously off course.”
The Bush administration warned about the looming Freddie & Fannie mortgage crisis many times, do a search on Youtube if you want, yet nothing was ever done.
Assault on the mortgage lenders: in the name of racial justice, the Clintonites want the power to decide who gets a home of his own - efforts to impose regulations on banks to make loans even if applicants are not creditworthy

QUIETLY, behind the scenes, the Clinton Administration is preparing for the biggest regulatory crackdown of recent years. Attorney General Janet Reno is linking up with banking regulators and with HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros to end the supposed epidemic of discrimination against minorities in making home loans. The implications for society at large are ominous.
The Liar Loans, loans that caused much of this trouble, all originated under Clinton.
Liberals don't even have common sense. Unfortunately conservatives are no use either since they use common sense on a host of counterintuitive economic facts.
Liberals walk backwards from the water bowl for no reason.
Conservatives walk towards the water bowl at all times, even when the short leach is wrapped around the tree.
Why not put blame on the uninformed economic illterates who make up the majority of the american electorate and vote these traitors in again and again?
Its pointless blaming individuals...america has exactly the same economic problems as almost every other western country. You let idiots vote and become a democracy, this is what you get.

If one finds themselves voting for the people who have the most campaign contributions from lobbyists? Shouldn't that make someone wonder what forces are behind their decisions?
White House Press Briefing, Office of the Press Secretary (Dec. 8, 1993)
MR. RUBIN: Hi. I'm Bob Rubin, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and I'm going to introduce today's topic.
The President, as you know, has a broad, comprehensive strategy for dealing with the economic problems of the country for putting the country back on the right track for the long-term. A lot of the legislative and executive actions that have taken place in 1993 have been pursuant to that long-term economic strategy of the President's.
[I guess Clinton's long-term economic strategy was a recessionary economy.]
Blow Job Bill wasn't the worst president ever, but hardly in the top 10.
