The prosperity of the last four years of his administration was driven by an unsustainable stock bubble. The collapse of the bubble was responsible for the recession of 2001 and the deficits that get the Washington establishment types so excited.

When the economy finally did recover from this downturn and start to create jobs it was on the back of the housing bubble.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cepr.net\/index.php\/blogs\/beat-the-press\/pro-griwth-and-pro-wall-street-is-an-oxymoron\">Pro-Growth and Pro-Wall Street is an Oxymoron | Beat the Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dean Baker responds to a NYT opinion that &#8220;Mr. Clinton is the president who made the sustained case to Democrats that they had to be pro-growth and pro-Wall Street, not just to get elected, but also to build a more modern economy.&#8221;
