In the great debate of which decade was best in modern American history, the ’90s sure do have a good case. Michael Jordan, a balanced budget, Seinfeld, and more, including a much more rudimentary and quiet internet, mark the great era in modern times. Sure, other decades like the ‘60s and ‘70s have a good argument too, but let’s stick with the ‘90s here for now.
