I wonder if those historians read the recent article in Time Magazine naming Clinton as one of the top 25 people responsible for the current state of the economy.
I'd take that with a grain of salt, considering they rated FDR 3'rd and 5'th. It's pretty widely held today that FDR lengthened and deepened the Great Depression and gave us the twin Ponzi scheme time bombs of Social Security and Medicare that will bankrupt our children and grandchildren. Apparently these historians didn't get the memo otherwise FDR would be ranked 41'st or 42'nd, economically, with Herbert Hoover taking up the last slot with that Smoot-Hawley Act.
