All under CLINTON:
Longest economic expansion in American historyfor the first time in over 50 years.
More than 22 million new jobsMore than 22 million jobs were created in less than eight years -- the most ever under a single administration, and more than were created in the previous twelve years.- Over 90 percent of these jobs are in the private sector and 80 percent of all new jobs have been created by small businesses.
Earned Income Tax Credit The plan gave tax cuts to 15 million families, and the average family with two children received over $1,000.
Made new tax cuts available to over 90% of small businesses.
Lowest unemployment in 30 yearsUnemployment dropped from more than 7 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in November 2000. Unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics fell to the lowest rates on record, and the rate for women is the lowest in more than 40 years.
Converted the largest budget deficit in American history to the largest surplus
Highest homeownership in American historyA strong economy and fiscal discipline kept interest rates low, making it possible for more families to buy homes. The homeownership rate increased from 64.2 percent in 1992 to 67. 7 percent, the highest rate ever.
Lowest crime rate in 26 yearsBecause of President Clinton?s comprehensive anti-crime strategy of tough penalties, more police, and smart prevention, as well as common sense gun safety laws, the overall crime rate declined for 8 consecutive years, the longest continuous drop on record, and is at the lowest level since 1973.
Smallest welfare rolls in 32 yearsThe President pledged to end welfare as we know it and signed landmark bipartisan welfare reform legislation in 1996. Since then, caseloads have been cut in half, to the lowest level since 1968, and millions of parents have joined the workforce. People on welfare today are five times more likely to be working than in 1992.
Lowest poverty rate in 20 years
Lowest government spending in three decades
Under clintons watch (8 years) less than 90 (including servicemen/woman) died due to terrorism.
Under Bush's watch...3,000 in less than 9 months (not including servicemen/woman)
Some people would like to say it has nothing to do with him (Clinton). That would make him the luckiest President who ever lived.
