It was an entire decade of growth with a well-managed budget.


Only president to do both since the 1950's, although GHWB and the GOP congressional leadership played their parts too. But no one serious could dispute that Clinton got taxes to the right equilibrium, pushed defense spending cuts over GOP opposition, enacted welfare reform, and later (when the GOP had control of congress) worked with GOP leadership to balance the budget and did it all in a measured manner that didnt slow down growth. He also was one of the more pro business presidents we've had despite being a Dem.

Also the recession that followed the "dot com bust" was mild and lasted only a few months.
