You people do realize...that Clinton left a budget surplus..."<br> <br> Hardly. Every year Clinton was in office, the federal debt increased[1]. While in government-ese, it may be deemed a surplus, in reality it is not.. What Clinton did, was borrow from one government account to another, one which wasn't "on the books" compared to one that was[2]. This shift was extrapolated out ten years, and THAT is what was called "Clinton's surplus." Like any statement from a politician, it was patently false.<br> <br> [1] http://www.craigsteiner.us/articles/16<br> [2] While the feds say we have $11 trillion in debt, you do realize we have over $50 trillion in "unfunded liabilities" including Social Security. While the feds may not call it debt, they still borrow from it.
