Lets go back to the Clinton Economy! Which is what?

Every once in a while, I see an idiotic statement that just has to be responded too. It's just so dumb, you have to point it out. If Obama supports the Economy Clinton had, then I support Obama! This is foolish. What kind of economy Clinton had, and what kind of economy Clinton supported, are two very different things. Clinton was not able to get the economy he wanted. Example.... The Clinton Stimulus package was shot down, and never passed. The Clinton Health Care Reform was shot down, and never passed. The Clinton tax cut he promised, and tax hike he threatened, never passed. He was able to pass some rather small tax increases, but nothing very large. More than this, Clinton had two policies that were passed, that were both Republican Free-Market Capitalist policies. One he didn't support, Welfare Reform, which he veto'd twice before Republicans pushed through the Welfare to Work requirement. This pushed more people off of being wealth consumers that are no benefit to society, into wealth producers that are a benefit to society. A reform that he promised to "fix" later. One he did support, but everyone else didn't, NAFTA. A free-market capitalist style policy that benefited both Mexico and the US economies. So to recap, Clinton among a list of policy rejections, only passed one policy that he support, and it's the exact policy most on the left are against. Obama on the other hand, has done the exact opposite of what Clinton accomplished, which is exactly what Clinton wanted. He passed the Stimulus, and sank the country trillions in debt. He passed Health Reform, which drove use trillions of dollars into future liabilities, and is driving up health care costs as we speak. He removed the work requirement from welfare, which will allow people to cease to produce wealth to build the economy, and instead just consume wealth to destroy the economy. He has threatened to move against China's international trade, which would in effect remove free-trade, harming the US more than it would China. And he has by virtue of the fact he increased the deficit to a record $1.6 Trillion, imposed a future tax that the citizens must repay. In short, everything Obama has done, and the economy we are now with, is in fact the very kind of Economy Bill Clinton tried for back in the 90s. This is it guys! This is the Clinton economy! This is exactly the economy we would have had, if the Republicans had not prevented Bill Clinton from screwing everything up. In fact, the balance budget goal, was only sought for after Republicans won Congress in 1994. Prior to 1994, not a single Clinton budget proposal even suggested a balanced budget. It was the Republicans who constantly cut spending, over and over, that allowed for the balanced budget. So even the budget wasn't what Clinton wanted. It's what Clinton got because the Republicans kept cutting his spending proposals.
