I expect that when Clinton dies you will similarly express scepticism about his connection to the greatest expansion of America's economy.

I expect that IRL you would be embarrassed to equate Clinton's impact on our economy with Reagan's impact on the Soviet economy. That said, presidents claimed more credit than they deserve when things are good, and take more blame than they deserve when things are bad. But their power to fuck things up is greater than their power to make things right.
