"Give Us HILLARY!!!!"

I think it is a mistake to assume that Mrs. Clinton's name recognition is necessarily a net positive.

Power of Progressive Economics
October 28, 2011

"In December 1992 President-elect Clinton convened business owners, labor leaders, and economists for an economic summit in Little Rock, Arkansas. He would be inaugurated in Washington only a month later but the experts who gathered there that day were deeply worried about the challenges the country faced when they took office. For one, the unemployment rate in 1992 was 7.5 percent, up from 6.9 percent the year before. And though the economy had started to grow again in 1992 after contracting in 1991, prospects for dramatic economic progress were still relatively dim. The Congressional Budget Office, for example, expected unemployment to remain above 6 percent for at least three more years, and they foresaw rather pedestrian overall economic growth. Just a month before Clinton’s inauguration, The New York Times ran an article with the headline, “Gloomy Prospects Seen for Growth Worldwide in ‘93.”

This anemic economic growth was also doing less and less to benefit the middle class and those striving to join it but more to benefit the top earners. As then-Gov. Clinton said when he announced his run for president, the middle class was spending more time on the job, less time with their children, and bringing home less money to pay for more health care, housing, and education. While labor productivity increased 17 percent in the 1980s, real average hourly earnings in December 1992 were less than they were when President Ronald Reagan took office in 1981. At the same time the cost of health care was up more than 20 percent and the cost of housing had risen by 10 percent overall.

Finally, Clinton’s incoming team was starting to realize that they were inheriting a tremendous fiscal challenge as well. In January 1993 the federal budget deficit for that year was expected to top $300 billion, or 5 percent, of gross domestic product—the broadest measure of our economy—and the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the United States would add more than $1.8 trillion to the national debt through 1998.

Yet over the next eight years, President Clinton presided over one of the most impressive economic turnarounds in modern history. By the end of his term, 22.7 million new jobs had been created, unemployment dropped to a 30-year low, and gross domestic product grew by 35 percent overall through the longest period of sustained growth in U.S. history.

What’s more, the growth was broadly shared and unemployment plummeted across the board, including those groups for whom the economy never worked very well. Average hourly wages increased by 6 percent after accounting for inflation, and median household income grew by 14 percent, the highest increase for a two-term president. The median income of African American families increased by a third and Hispanic families saw their median incomes rise by almost $7,000. Poverty rates dropped to near record lows. And of course the federal budget went from enormous deficits to enormous surpluses, with the federal government on track to becoming effectively debt free by 2009—for the first time since Andrew Jackson was president."

We've already had one essentially academic president. No need to try another right now. At least Hillary can claim she has administrative experience, Governor's wife, President's wife, Secretary of State, to put up against the likely governor candidate from the Reich. I'd rather an elder like four term Governor Jerry Brown reignite the flower children for the left though.

Well, thanks for at least toning your kaleidoscope down a bit. I was a working-adult in the 90's, and her name recognition was definitely not a net positive, it also leaned towards the humorous.

As a working adult in the nineties, especially during the blue dress period, Hillary's ratings were right up there with Bill's.

Hillary’s favorability rating hit an all-time high in the middle of the Lewinsky scandal, and during her recent tenure as secretary of state, more than 60 percent of Americans held favorable views of her.

I think Hillary is eventually not going to run. Her recent alleged decision to "postpone" the beginning of her campaign is just to give the other candidates a bit more breathing room to prepare.

My point exactly. You may want to search the term "Jimmy Higgins". Heck, if I'm a teabagger... I'm sorry... can't stop laughing.

If I'm a teabagger, then funinspace is a member of the Westboro Church, and dismal... well, he becomes a liberal because we just swung the whole thing around the axis.

I see Hillary wanting to be an impact. A Ron Paul like kingmaker.

I was a working adult during the 1990s and I know quite a number of them. Most of them would not vote for Hillary Clinton. It is a big mistake to confuse her with her husband. President Clinton gets credit for much of the economic expansion in during his Presidency which he does not deserve (no President really does). The federal did not run huge surpluses (in fact, it really did not run any, otherwise the federal debt would have shrunk during some of that time).

Mrs. Clinton has huge negatives and her candidacy would energize the lunatic rightwing base.

I was a working adult all through the Clinton campaign and preseidency. Clinton was a liar regarding his environmental and social concerns. He sounded good while he was on the stump...in fact he was the LAST DEMOCRAT I VOTED FOR. But his promises of environmental and american job protection in the NAFTA agreement was just so much hot air. When he and his familiar, Gore worked with Phil Gram to cut loose the speculators on Wall Street, that was really about the last straw.
Of course it could possible one could have been employed in areas not affected directly by the Clinton crookedness and have felt it was a "good time" for them personally. You will not find enough people who feel that way about the Clintons to get her elected without something like Palin on the other side to scare hell out of them.

Medicine man: Listen to Jimmy. He knows what he is talking about and it appears you don't.

Then I guess anyone who uses the forum handle "Medicine Man" must be a credulous follower of shamanic, or animistic, religious belief. Or maybe we really shouldn't be using forum handles (in part, or in whole) as the sole arbiter of one's world view.
