William Jefferson Clinton also known as "Bill" Clinton, serving as the 42nd President of the United States from January 20, 1993 to January 19, 2001. Who I believe, including his flaws, was still an extraordinary president. During his presidency, Clinton enjoyed the lowest unemployment and inflation rates in recent history, high home ownership, low crime rates, and a low budget surplus. They also gave him credit for eliminating the federal deficit and reforming welfare, despite being forced to deal with a Republican-controlled Congress. (Clinton, et al.) The lowest unemployment rate occurred in 1992, when Bill Clinton was elected president of the United States. The American economy was barely creating jobs, wages were very low, and the unemployment rate was 7.5%. His bold tripartite economic tactics focused on three goals: spending discipline, investment in U.S. education, health care that everyone could enjoy, advances in science and technology, and opening foreign markets to expand trade. Today's work release provides further evidence that this tactic works effectively. (House, 2000) American families and communities faced serious crime problems in 1992. In 1992, more violent crimes were reported at a higher rate than ever before, with murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults they have reached almost two million cases. in the United States. Gun crime has reached its highest level in 20 years, with total reported gun crimes at nearly half a million. Parents fighting the daily battle to keep their children away from drugs, gangs and alcohol, younger than ever have been involved in violent crime. In 1992 alone, more than 850,000 children were victims of... middle of paper... leaders refused to provide legislative support, it was one of the shining moments of Bill Clinton's presidency. (Virginia)The President's success will undoubtedly be historic in history, as the administration helped bring an end to the conflict that had threatened the security of Europe. Since there is always a downside, the failure to act in Rwanda is an important aspect in future historical assessment for years to come. Clinton's overall handling of the "post-Cold War" environment has certainly come under scrutiny from many people.
