Hillary rejects Bill's economic policies that made his time prosperous
09/28/2016
Willingly or not, Bill Clinton presided over mildly free-market policies and welfare reform. The federal budget grew during his time but shrunk as a share of the economy. Federal deficits were reduced, then eliminated and turned into surpluses. He was enthusiastically for free trade. His very early attempt at an artificial "stimulus" was defeated, with money instead going where it was actually wanted, needed, and productive of things consumers valued and could afford. Hillary is rejecting all of that, as we saw in the first debate, Peter Suderman writes in Reason:
Hillary Clinton Wants the Economy of the 1990s Without Its Policy Agenda:
On budgets, trade, and more, the Democratic nominee rejects Bill Clinton's economic initiatives.
