Hillary Clinton says she'll name Bill as economy czar
by Chris Isidore***@CNNMoney
If she's elected president, Hillary Clinton says she'll appoint her husband, Bill, to oversee the economy.
During a speech in Kentucky Sunday she referred to "my husband, who I will put in charge of revitalizing the economy 'cause he knows what he's doing."
The U.S. economy boomed during President Clinton's administration. His economic record is an effective selling point, especially as U.S.*growth remains sluggish, and most*voters worried about the economy.
During Clinton's eight years as president, the U.S. economy added more than 22 million jobs. That's slightly more jobs than were added during the combined 22-year tenure of the four most recent Republican presidents.
In the spring of 2000, Clinton's final year in office, a greater percentage of Americans had jobs than any time since records started being kept soon after World War II.

Bush W had what economists considered FULL EMPLOYMENT during his tenure. Before the Dems took control of congress the last two years of his second term, he had less than 5% unemployment rate. Having jobs created is a real nice feature, IF YOU NEED IT. But, since we had full employment, why would creating jobs really matter that much? If you glass is already full, you need not fill it any further. So, if you have more jobs than you can fill, you will have to import labor.
So, next you will want to brag about Clinton's surplus myth. Before you do, please tell me how much Clinton was able to pay down on the national debt? Here, let me answer that for you,,,,,,ZERO, zilch, nada, none. If he had a surplus, he would have paid down on the national debt and I know he didn't because the last president that paid down on the national debt was Eisenhower, a REPUBLICAN.
