I actually thought Clinton did a decent job.

However the surplus came for one reason...because nothing got done by the feds for that time. The president was dem and the congress was controlled by the repubs, marginally I believe. Basically a bunch of arguing and no spending and therefore a surplus, woo. Letting capitalism takes its course is the best thing we can do for the economy.

But Clinton was a dumb ass and made it possible for every idiot to think they are entitled to own a home and mortgage and everyone should get a loan. Which caused the current economic meltdown. Bush did nothing but made it worse.

I try and hate on everyone equally, I think most elected officials are jack asses personally, but i tend to agree with republican views.

Lots of the surplus came from Clinton cutting the Military down to the bare minimum.

That and borrowing heavily from the Social Security fund (which we will have to pay back soon and don't have the money)
