Bill Clinton's entire presidency, which literally created more jobs and cut poverty more than any other administration in history, yet is still decried by certain lefties for being "nEoLiBerAl." I guess it just goes to show that, despite all the rhetoric about supporting the working man, the goal isn't to create jobs and lift people out of poverty after all, rather just to win an imaginary war of ideas.
Are people STILL unironically pushing this myth in Year Of Our Lord Two-Thousand and Twenty-One? There was no prosperity in the 1990s unless you were a stockbroker.

Also note the quality of "jobs" that were "created" under Slick Willie:

It was better than anything in the twenty years since:
The decline in labor share of income in the United States since the turn of the millennium has been particularly marked and is the focus of our analysis. Official data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) suggest that, while the labor share had already started to decrease in the 1960s, three-fourths of the entire post-1947 decline occurred between 2000 and 2016 (Exhibit 1). The steepest part of the decline—from 63.3 percent in 2000 to 56.7 percent in 2016—followed a moderate downward drift in the 1980s and early 1990s, and a slight recovery in the late 1990s.
