Macroeconomics... more taxes and more restrictions on industry will make industries flock away from America.Dilbert_X wrote:

Clintonomics worked very well, didn't you have a budget surplus?
Right now your economy is pretty much in the toilet.
Compared with the last 8 years of Republicanism I don't see how anyone could do any worse.
Clintonomics was a farce - the 80s and 90s were fueled by the computer industry exploding. This had little to do with who was in the White House. Also, note that it was a Republican controlled congress for much of his administration. You don't seem to think that this was what caused it? As I said, it had little to do with any party and more to do with the tens of millions of Americans that were working more efficiently due to the widespread adoption of computers in every facet of life.
I disagree with the "economy is pretty much in the toilet" statement. So far, we have yet to post negative growth. Two consecutive quarters of negative growth constitutes a recession. Again, not even one yet.
You may or may not choose to believe me, but I do have a BS in Economics and am working towards a PhD starting in the fall. Of course I could be lying - this is the internet - but I suppose I could post a picture of me holding my degree. Again, who is to say that would be me in the picture? In the end, you will have to wait until I win a Nobel Prize or get caught sleeping with a future student and make national headlines.
