- ... interest rate between one and two percent by 1994. This did not happen but some do credit his big budget reform as the start to what is taking place now during the era of Bill Clinton.

- ... accusation makes the white race the sole powerful force in this present government, which has, in modern times, tried to diversify its representation in terms of both race and gender. It also assumes that President Clinton can be held accountable for Andrew Jackson's actions. But of course, the facts of history limit Clinton's or anyone's ability to redress what was done by past administrations. The option to give back what was taken from Native Americans has ceased to be viable. And conflating Clinton with Jackson reduces the likelihood that Clinton will take the protesters or their requests seriously. Indiscriminately blaming a monolithic white race alienates not only those who need to be reformed, but also those who ...

Democrats are typically known for “embracing organized labor” unlike republicans (Wojcik, 1992, p. 25). Clinton’s promises fell short; however, likely due to his largely republican Congress. Furthermore, under the Clinton administration, the 1994 North American Free Trade agreement was passed which will progressively remove tariffs off of auto and auto part imports (Smith, 1998).

The union leader was further criticized for idly waiting for a democratic president to take office, and once one did, the AFL-CIO leader idly waited for Clinton’s promises to materialize— which never did.

Census Bureau, our national debt has now reached over $5.5 trillion, is increasing at a rate of nearly a billion dollars a day, and has gone up over 1.5 trillion just since Clinton took office.

- ... never done." Ron Fitzimmons, the spokesperson for the National Coalition of Abortion Providers repeated this information in media interviews.

This is believed to be another reason that JFK was assassinated. Another Democrat accused of sleeping around in the White House, has also had problems with terrorists.
