Economic Policy Of The Bill Clinton Administration
.​

"The economic policy of the Bill Clinton administration, referred to by some as Clintonomics, encapsulates the economic policies of president of the United States Bill Clinton that were implemented during his presidency, which lasted from January 1993 to January 2001.
.
President Clinton oversaw a healthy economy during his tenure. The U.S. had strong economic growth (around 4% annually) and record job creation (22.7 million). He raised taxes on higher income taxpayers early in his first term and cut defense spending and welfare, which contributed to a rise in revenue and decline in spending relative to the size of the economy. These factors helped bring the United States federal budget into surplus from fiscal years 1998 to 2001, the only surplus years since 1969. Debt held by the public, a primary measure of the national debt, fell relative to GDP throughout his two terms, from 47.8% in 1993 to 31.4% in 2001.
.
As mentioned previously, Clinton has been criticized by some observers as having played a long-term role in leading to the Great Recession with the aforementioned Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act as well as the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000."

Taxes: The Highest In History??
August 5, 1996
.​

"Some columnists claim that tax receipts are now a bigger share of the economy than ever before, presumably the result of tax increases enacted in1993. As a result, they say, federal taxes and especially federal income taxes should be cut. But the claim is false.
.
The 1993 budget legislation did increase federal tax receipts. One can not, however, draw from this the conclusion that taxes increased significantly for the majority of taxpayers. The 1993 changes in the tax code increased federal income tax rates only for high-income taxpayers.
.
Because taxes paid by wealthy taxpayers increased significantly, average tax burdens climbed. But this tells nothing about the taxes paid by the typical taxpayer.
.
The vast majority of taxpayers saw no change in their income taxes as a result of the 1993 law. CBO estimates that most households paid only $38 more per year, as a result of the 4.3 cent per gallon increase in the gas tax."

Clinton showed good judgment by submitting to Newt Gingrich and endorsing the republican economic plan.

Yes, Bill Clinton
benefited from a Republican Congress in certain key areas during his presidency.
Here's how:

• Welfare Reform: The Republican-controlled Congress passed welfare reforms in 1996. This legislation replaced the old system with block grants to states, fulfilling a campaign pledge for Clinton, even though Republicans largely drove the writing of the legislation.
• Balancing the Budget: The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, a major economic boost during Clinton's presidency, resulted from compromise with a Republican-controlled Congress. This achievement, which involved spending cuts and tax increases, contributed to eliminating the federal budget deficit and a healthy economy.
