LOL, come on - the crash, a disaster of a crash, was imminent. But, I'm not pinning that on Clinton. You can blame all the FOMO's who fell for the dot-com "its a new economy" scam.Cannonpointer » Today, 8:35 am » wrote: ↑ I'll give ya this, you got a set of balls on ya.
Clinton handed off an economy that was roaring. Now, I will grant you, he was at the end of a boom. There was a CORRECTION coming - no doubt. But a crash? A complete disaster? Not so much.
Bush took the helm and almost immediately had to deal with 9-11. Clinton was too focused on banning "evil" features on firearms rather than eradicating threats to the United States. So, we got attacked and Bush II had to deal with it. He did a nice job of destroying most of Afghanistan too. I'm still proud of him for this.
Then, 2 things happened. Bush allowed the Democrats to push their "house-loans for everyone" scam which lead to the housing collapse; and Bush got us into a stupid war with Iraq. The smarter thing to do would have been to fund Israel to make Iranian-looking bombs and tell Israel to go light those Persia-Pounders off inside of Iraq, then sit back eat popcorn and let Iraq and Iran kill each other.
