Pls answer this HONESTLY
:)
-
No complaints... I did okay.
-
I did great, except for Clinton being president.
-
Businesswise, they were the best years I have had.
-
Clinton signed a paper that cost me the best job ever (right down the road from you at the NTS) which had the effect of making me lose my house (tough to come up with $840 a month when your income is suddenly $0.00).
Thanks Billy.
Thanks Teamsters.
-
Can't complain.
-
I was in NYC during Clinton, and there was the very real (and accurate) sense that if, at 9am, the company you were working for suddenly announced that they were going to liquidate and call it a day - you'd have a new job by noon. Good times.
-
i lost my job during clinton
-
Yeah, Nash, and all those good times companys folded, leaving no noodleion plan, no retraining, nuttin, just see you out the door and hold a liquidation sale for the fancy trimmings. The Bubble burst in 1999.
Oh yeah, I did great and dumped my 401k in early 1999 and bought a house.

Made a bunch of money in the tech boom and lost a bunch of money in the tech implosion.
-
Hey Liz - read the poster's question.
Asked and answered.
Glad to hear that it was good times for you too.

NAFTA 1999

Other than it being historical in the fact it was the first time we had a female pres, it sucked. :D
-
I've done fine since I entered the workforce at 19 in '78
better each year, regardless of who was prez
I was ashamed of our POTUS 92 - 00 as he was a disgrace to the Office
-
I enlisted in 95....all of a sudden IIRC the military was being asked to integrate woman in positions they've never served in before.....we were being told Gay was OK Don't ask don't tell. We saw our budgets cut by half and our operational commitment increased by 300% Plus you coulndt say Hi to a female Marine w/o her threating sexual harrasment charges (that was more tailhook than clinton)
Great times;) .....do more with less!
-
I got out of the navy in '92.
Something about being home rather than halfway 'round the world for six months every other year seems to have brightened my perspective.

You were ashamed of George H.W. Bush during his last year in office? :eek:

My life was great. I learned that if you did nothing in response to everything, things would work themselves out or explode.
-
my best years so far.
by the end of his second year my income had doubled (keep in mind I also went from an apprentice at 80% of scale to full journeyman so it shows the increase as a bit more than would be fair).
by the end of his 3rd year, up until the end of 2001, I was making almost 3 times what I was making when Bush's dad was running the show.
I never had any problem finding work, companies were paying bonuses of $2-3 over scale for certain jobs. you could quit a job at one company and half the time there would be another to choose from before you got back to the union hall, the rest of the time you might be off for a week (except January and half of Dec & Feb, when we rarely have work).
I didn't know anybody who wanted to work, wasn't a complete moron, and had any sort of a marketable skill that couldn't find a job.

What do you mean by "in"?
-
Honestly can't say anything was impacted in my life by bubba except for making a 200% profit on selling an "assault weapon" after the hoax was passed into law. Besides that, no impact.
If I had the cash to invest I would go buy a truckload of the damned things at bargain prices and then wait until the next canadian style idiot was elected into office to outlaw guns so I could sell em for another tremendous profit.
Maybe I should get a bunch of interested investors together.....

I drove by a movie theater the other day, some kid flick was getting out and I was picking up a friends kid for him.
So I pull into the drive way and pull around the back to get to the exit on the other side with out fighting through the crowd leaving the building,
What I saw was shocking,
There were 3 14-16 year old boys with there pants around their knees and 3 YOUNG girls on theirs, you get the picture,
I slowed down just enough to get a response from one of them, he yells out “what you never seen a B***job before”
As I father of a daughter, I say F*** you bill Clinton for making this acceptable.
-
I got 3 lay-off notices during the Clinton years, 3 of them. 2 were rescinded and the 3rd (1999) was going to commence but I found another job.

Good Lord. You blame Clinton for that behaviour? I blame the parents of all involved.

my sentiments exactly.
how was my life?
well, i couldnt buy a car becuase interest rates were 13%, and when i finally got 12% and bought one, i lost my job.
unable to find one for 9 months, i finally got offered $6/ hour (in 1999 for God's sake).
to bad those 9 months had spiraled me down so far into debt i am still not even close to recovering.
my mother had worked at the village hall for 22 years at the time, and for 2 months she did not recieve a paycheck for the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT being shut down!!!.
i am amazed people forget slick billy shuting down the government.

This just in... 99% of the teenagers couldn't give a rat's bellybutton who is president.
Public indecency was illegal before Clinton, during Clinton, and after Clinton.
It's a cop out.

Oh yeah... that was Clinton's fault too. :aok

I spent most of the Clin-Ton years in the Navy. It was a good time.
When I got out, I had a dream job playing Wargames for the Navy. Then that project was drawn down.
The rest of my family wasn't so lucky. My sister and Parents lost houses when the market in town fell through the floor. Jobs were getting scarce, and they had to relocate, but were unable to move their houses even for the money owed on the mortgage after paying on them for 5-10 years. It was ugly. Many of the jobs/missions that China Lake had been performing were moved to Pt. Magu, and NAS Pax River, but I think that worst of all, was the speculation every year that the BRAC was going to close the base outright. Those who were a bit more rational didn't think that it was going to happen, but the local press kept pounding the point each year.
It was a bad time to be dependant on an obscure military base. Although Sandman seems to have weathered it well :p

Clinton put this into the living rooms of America, and then made it out to be tripe. The entire Clinton apologist had to stand up and scream “What’s the big deal it’s JUST a BJ” “IT”S” not really sex” or they would have to had had admitted he was impeachable and a dirt bag. They couldn't do that.
That’s the frigging problem.

I was in the military to drunk to remember but I think life was great and carefree.

Sure it wasn't really Dellums fault (in this particular case. err, not to defend Fat Willy or anything).
