Oh, so the Dot.com boom just
happened to hit when Clinton took office, right? All that technology, all that research and product development just came together the month Bill Clinton took office and grew the economy for him. Bill just sat back and watched it happen.
The sad thing is, conservatives actually believe this.
Of course, what really happened is that the Economic Stimulus Package of 1993 was passed and grew the economy. Economic conservatives don't believe in government programs as stimulus, they believe in tax cuts only. So when Clinton's economic stimulus worked, they had to scramble around and come up with something. The "Dot.com" legend is that something.
Stimulus. It worked for Roosevelt, and it worked for Clinton.
