Many of us remember the Clinton years as a time of unparalleled
prosperity, when 22 million people found new jobs and the federal
government took in record surpluses in tax revenue. But in speech after

economic record by suggesting that the president “inherited” an economy
in shambles — a “Clinton recession” now thankfully turned into “Bush
prosperity.” [Salon.com]
