I have been waiting to hear this bit of news. I’ve been curious about what might lie ahead for the next presidential spouse.<\/p>\n

Hillary Rodham Clinton says she’s got a job for her husband if she’s elected the next president of the United States this November.<\/p>\n

She intends to put the 42nd president in charge of “revitalizing the economy.”<\/p>\n

Bill Clinton presided over an economic revival during his time as president. From 1993 until 2001, President Clinton — working with a Congress controlled by men and women who belonged to the other party — did what once was deemed impossible. The government reached a balanced federal budget. Indeed, it operated with a substantial surplus<\/em> by the time Bill Clinton’s two terms had come to an end.<\/p>\n

If there is one singular positive legacy from the Bill Clinton presidency, it is that the nation enjoyed tremendous economic health.<\/p>\n

It came unraveled not long after Bill Clinton left office. Terrorists hit us hard, we went to war, the new president — George W. Bush — didn’t propose a way to pay for that struggle. The deficit ballooned.<\/p>\n

Now, with another election coming on quickly, the former president is poised to give the next president a constructive hand in shoring up the economic recovery that most observers say remains unsteady.<\/p>\n

“He’s got more ideas a minute than anybody I know,” Clinton said of her husband.<\/p>\n

Great. Let’s put them to work.<\/p>\n

Oh wait. First, Hillary Clinton’s got to get elected.<\/p>\n
