Clintons surplus was a sham. He borrowed money from social security to pay down public debt. I thought everyone knew this by now, but maybe those partisan blinders are thick.

Congress controls the purse strings.
And for the first four years the Democrats controlled Congress and it could credibly be argued that they still control it now. President Bush spent way too much money but this President has taken spending to unbelievable levels.

Congress didn't get a chance to vote on our invasion of Libya.
That was a Friday night memo from Obama.

The Clinton administration "played with the books" to shuffle around money that created that 'surplus'.

Remember, Republican Bush was given a SURPLUS by Democrat Clinton and turned it into a RECORD DEFICIT. Had our great President Obama not been obstructed by Republicans in Congress, we likely would be enjoying another surplus.

To be fair, the surplus wouldn't have been permanent no matter who the President was. For some reason, people always forget about the Dot Com Bubble Burst.

Actually, there was NEVER a surplus under Clinton.. only the public budgets had a surplus, but that's because they borrowed from intragovernmental departments, which needed to be paid back.

I don't expect you to actually understand after all you started the stupid thread..
