In defense of Bill, the disposable income gap actually narrowed slightly during his Presidency, proving that it is actually possible for a rising tide to raise all boats, if your start from the bottom.

This, of course, ignores the future effects of the banking deregulation he signed his last year in office.

I just can't get that excited about NAFTA though, for the same reasons Paul Krugman couldn't.
