I have to agree with Dave, here. It is difficult to underestimate the impact that the dotcom boom had on this country, nor to overestimate the resultant plunge upon its demise.
Everyone thought they had something, but it was smoke and mirrors. People spent money like it was water and then found out there was nothing (and I mean *nothing*) there to support it all.
Imagine yourself going out and spending thousands of dollars because you'd been promised a big raise, and instead you lost your job. That's what happened to the whole damn country.
Clinton just happened to be sitting (or something) in the Oval Office when it occurred. This is not a defacto cause and effect based on his presidency.
Insane? Maybe. Obvious? No.
