My question was sarcastic. We had a surplus due to accounting tricks. The DEBT grew under Clinton every year.you asked how it worked. i answered. if you werent' confused, why did you ask?
clinton did help the situation by spending less than he was budgeted. w did not by spending way more than he was budgeted. and obama got 3T worth of debt from iraq from w. thanks alot!
I was pointing out that the politicians were lying to us. Sure, it appears that there was a surplus because we were stealing from social security year after year. However, you cant take money out of one pocket and put it in another pocket and claim you just made income.
So, go look at the debt and then tell me with a straight face that there was actually a surplus.
