Clinton Economic Policy Failures

Max Zawicky posts a list of six Clinton Administration economic policy failures (from the perspective of someone on the left): "BUBBA BUBBA, TOIL AND TRUBBA"

Zawicky spends time getting his failure criteria right. Politicians have to make all sorts of compromises to stay in office, so its not realistic to ding them for every deviation from an ideal policy stance. A policy failure could be the result of compromise; a political failure could be the result of taking risks to do the right thing. But, when something is counterproductive from a partisan point of view, and counterproductive from a policy point of view, you have an unambiguous failure.
