7. Family and Medical Leave
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 02:28 PM by dmesg
I suppose the AWB made a lot of the base happy, too, even though it was a stupid bill in so many ways. The Brady Law has broader traction, though, and it was signed by Clinton (though first pushed under GHWB).

DADT was a kind of victory; specifically, the Pyrrhic kind.

Raising the minimum wage in '94, and the '94 stimulus package.

Basically, Clinton managed to push through FMLA, AWB, the mininum wage increase, and the '94 budget and lost Congress for his troubles.
