Quote: Hrmm 92-96, that's 4 years of stagnation before he finally did something. Increasing came only after he had a huge budget surplus to burn. The surplus was due to the tech boom which he taxed the hell out of. He got lucky with the times.
Did I not say that Clinton made some bad decisions?
Did I not say that he could have done a better job of repealing some of the cuts made by the previous Bush Adminstration and didn't?
The pay raises authorized by the previous Bush Adminstration were 2.2% in 1993, 2.6% in 1994, 2.4% in 1995, and 3.0% in 1996 (Bush had budgeted 2.3% and Clinton increased it)
