> As far as the economy is concerned Mr. Clinton
> did a good job managing it up
> until this year when he went into the tank and
> stopped governing. The
> president said not a word when OPEC slowed down
> production, and that action is
> going to cause us a mini-recession in 2001. Since
> Mr. Clinton had no energy
> policy to fall back on, the OPEC production cut
> and subsequent higher oil
> prices were a disaster for working Americans and
> corporate profits. The reason
> the president did not aggressively fight the OPEC
> action is that he
> desperately wanted Arab cooperation in a Middle
> East peace deal, and he was
> too busy raising money for the Democratic Party
> and himself to pay close
> attention to macroeconomics. Mr. Clinton knew
> that any recession in 2001 was
> going be somebody else's problem.
>
> Thus the champion of the phrase "it's the
> economy, stupid," leaves the
> American people with a very shaky and somewhat
> stupid economy, and it did not
> have to be that way.
>
> The situation points up what I believe is Mr.
> Clinton's biggest fault -- he's
> selfish. The presidency was all about him, not
> us. He is quoted as saying he
> doesn't know how history will treat him but no
> one had more fun in office than
> he did. Swell. I'm glad he had so much fun.
> That's where I want my tax dollars
> to go -- fun for the president. Are you getting
> the picture here?
>
> If not, here are a few more things that offended
> me about President Clinton.
> He spent lavishly on himself and his family to
> travel the world, and many of
> those trips were little more than fabulous
> junkets. I know some of the people
> who went on them -- no expense was spared. We're
> back to fun again.
>
> Mr. Clinton also did nothing about the drug
> problem in America, the illegal
> immigrant problem on the southern border, high
> health costs, poor public
> school education and a deteriorating military. I
> repeat -- he did nothing
> about those problems in eight years. In fact some
> of them got worse.
>
> The president fiddled while America's airline
> industry fell apart. He
> appointed the incredibly incompetent Rodney
> Slater as Transportation
> Secretary. Mr. Slater ran up huge expenses while
> doing nada.
>
> And we all know about the nuclear secrets debacle
> and the campaign finance
> illegalities. Also, I hope you have noticed that
> I did not mention Monica
> Lewinsky one time.
>
> On the plus side, Mr. Clinton cut the welfare
> rolls, increased home ownership
> in America, kept inflation under control by
> balancing the budget and kept
> crime down by effective use of block federal
> grants to local law enforcement
> agencies.
>
> But the American worker got slaughtered under Mr.
> Clinton, even if Joe and
> Betty America don't really know it. Taxes are the
> highest since World War II
> and individual spending depletes almost all
> personal income. In other words,
> many American workers are living paycheck to
> paycheck. And those paychecks are
> no longer secure.
>
> So I believe Mr. Clinton did little of lasting
> importance. Nobody is going to
> remember the go-go economy of the '90s 30 years
> from now. But after eight
> years of Mr. Clinton, our kids still face a
> rampant narcotics infestation,
> sky-high medical costs, poor public education, a
> wobbly Social Security system
> and a jaded social outlook where about half the
> population feels it is quite
> OK to lie under oath if you're talking about sex.

> No question that Bill Clinton had brains and
