What did Hillary Clinton accomplish?

He presided over the largest economic expansion in U.S. history. It began considerably prior to his taking office, and collapsed well before he left it.

Therefore he is not regarded as the cause of the expansion, but is regarded as the reason for its destruction (the "dot-com bust").

Note: Bill Clinton supposedly balanced the federal budget and eliminated the federal deficit.

However, it seems that creative accounting was used... for one thing, the National Debt certainly was never paid off, which means it was a case of "the budget is balanced, except that the bills aren't paid"!

Astonishingly, as soon as he was out of office, the media willingness to overlook creative accounting vanished as well, and the *real* budget's economics came back.
