Ol 'Bill
Rarely does a week go by during which I don't hear a Democrat talking head on TV going on and on about how great a president was one William Jefferson Clinton. Well ... The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes tells us the troof about ol' Bill:
Though it’s rarely acknowledged, Clinton’s most significant successes in the White House were all in conjunction with Republicans: the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993, welfare reform in 1996, and balanced budget legislation in 1997 that included a cut in the capital gains tax rate from 28 percent to 20 percent that spurred the financial boom and budget surplus of his second term.
So there.
