102. President Clinton ordered the largest dollar increase in Pell Grant history
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 01:33 AM by Breeze54
How is that ignoring young people? I was a lot younger then (obviously!) than I am now and some
of the things he did helped me and my young kids. (I suspect kids like you are now!)

He kept most of our servicemen and women out of a war and none were killed on his watch.

Clinton reported a surplus of $559 billion at the end of his presidency!

Some Major legislation he signed

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton#Legislation_and_programs

1993-02-05 - Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993

1996-08-20 - Minimum wage Increase Act

1997-08-05 - Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997

And he also funded daycare and after school programs and training for displaced workers and extended unemployment etc.

He also increased the HUD budget and got thousands of homeless people off the streets!!
(He cleaned up after what raygun did to the poor...) :grr:

He did some things I didn't agree with, that's for sure, but he also did some good. Like EIC!
That helped a lot and we don't have it anymore, thanks to that fucktard in the WH! :grr:

But my life did improve when he was in office.
I know I had more money then and more opportunities and jobs available!
