Clinton left office with a 65% approval rating, the highest end-of-presidency
rating of any President that came into office after World War II
Shortly after taking office, Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act of
1993, which required large employers to allow their employees to take unpaid
leave because of pregnancy or a serious medical condition.
In August 1993, Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993,
which passed Congress without a single Republican vote. It raised taxes on
the wealthiest 1.2% of taxpayers,[36] while cutting taxes for 15 million low-income
families and making tax cuts available to 90% of small businesses.[37] Additionally, it mandated that the budget be balanced over a number of years, through the implementation of spending restraints.
But maybe those years of Reaganomics and Iran-Contra WERE better. Hmmmmm...
