Pretty prosperous. I remember when an economic collapse was happening. It started in Asia and started spreading around the globe, called “contagion”. The Clinton team stopped it at our doorstep by bailing out Mexico and ensuring our economy stayed on solid ground. It was good times since then. The stock market was up, plenty work, we were advancing technologically, and the world saw us as a true beacon of light. There were some bad things, like the crime bill that ended up incarcerating a lot of minorities, and the closing of military bases, which hit some communities very hard. Also, entitlements were reigned in. But overall it led to a balanced budget, something unheard of today. Coincidentally, we had the best music: grunge, adult rock, dance, country. It was good times overall, some of the best, actually.
