Write an essay about a famous historical figure who inspires you. Explain why.

One of the historical figures who inspire me is Bill Clinton. A lot of people are skeptical about
him for his scandals. However, what makes me inspired by him is the context of his
“Presidency”.
 
The context of "Presidency" is wide; extending from being the ceremonial head, up to being the
chief executive to lead the government in administrating the social welfare, economy,
legislation, armed force, international relations, safety and security. The president promotes the
living condition of the nation-state.

Bill Clinton was able to effectively carry-out all these functions and he surpassed the
performance of other presidents in U.S history. He made a historical development of the
economy and social condition in U.S.

According to the White House:

WhiteHouse, Archives https://clintonwhitehouse5.archives.gov/WH/Accomplishments/eightyears-01.html
“Bill Clinton was able to function with excellent performance” and White House itself described
his term as a "Histroric Era of Progress and Prosperity".
 
To review the U.S history, the beginning of 1990 was a downturn of economy or the "economic
recession" resulting to increased unemployment rate, closing of some businesses and shaking
of the federal budget.

In 1993, Arkansas Democrat Bill Clinton became the 42nd President of United States. He
focused on economic recovery and development through his policies or the so called
"Clintonomics" which eliminates inflation in economy and employment that consequently raised
the Federal Budget with surplus.

Het cut government spending so US could regulate budget deficit while raising revenue. Clinton
created millions of new jobs to make people generate their income and sustain the labor needs
of the companies. This contributed to the drop of poverty rate.

Clinton entered U.S into agreement with Canada and Mexico under the North American Free
Trade (NAFTA). The purpose is to establish a trilateral trade bloc in North America. It became
the biggest trade blocs in the world by gross domestic product. NAFTA increased U.S. exports
and created new jobs.

Clinton created the 1993 budget bill or the "Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA)
which was signed into law on August 10, 1993. It was intended to increase taxes from wealthy
people, high income companies and taxes on gas. 

Clinton introduced the1993 Deficit Reduction Act and the 1997 Balanced Budget Act, and
President Clinton's call to save the surplus for debt reduction.
Clinton's policies continued to make a dramatical improvement in the succeeding years
particularly increasing its revenue until US federal budget reached its surplus.

All of his accomplishments made history. This goes to prove that Clinton was able to recover
and elevate the whole socio-economic condition of the nation-state which is the very context of
presidency. The scandals that he committed was just a personal/administrative and judicial
aspect that affected his administration and justice system.

Bill Clinton as a historical figure for his presidency brings inspiration for the following:

1. Poverty could be eliminated when we create and execute a strategic financial

development plan that is most appropriate for the existing situation.
2. Utilize the available resources to create new opportunities.
3. Carry-out an excellent job rather than a job well done.
4. Be an effective leader to yourself and to the whole team.
