I am wondering what would have happened to the economy in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, ect. had Congress refused to pass Clinton's tax plan that increased the top tax rate from 31% to 36% and 39.6%.  Would the bond market have crashed?  Would interest rates have risen, causing a new recession in 1995 or 1996?

Many believe that the 1993 Clinton budget were the reason why long term interest rates were held low in the 1990's and helped the economy.  If this tax increase didnt happen, would there have been a budget surplus later in the decade?
