There are two ways to look at the economy, one is to look at common economic indicators and the other is to look at what you have in the "bank". It is far to simplistic to take a few statistics here and there and come to any real meaningful conclusions. Each President presides over an economy that is unique. Comparing major transitional economic periods to those periods that follow and then drawing conclusions because of the comparison is silly. Kinda like comparing the growth spurt of a teenage to the growth of the same person as an adult. It might be unhealthy for the adult to put on weight the way they did as a teen. Our economy went through a once in a life time transition with the dot com age in the 90's, just like we went through an economic boom in the 1920's due to modernization factors and production innovations.
