But even if we remove Social Security from the equation, there was a surplus of $1.9 billion in fiscal 1999 and $86.4 billion in fiscal 2000. So any way you count it, the federal budget was balanced and the deficit was erased, if only for a while.

You have not provided any gov figures to back up your statement that Clinton had a surplus. On the other hand, I have provided actual figures that prove that Clinton NEVER paid down the national debt and that it did in fact go up every year. You talk like that idiot Oblunder and probably really believe your own lies, like him. A budget surplus is not the same as the national debt. Anyone can write a budget that shows a surplus. And Clinton never had a surplus, by the way. There is no proof at the Treasury website. So provide a link other than some article by some tard or go back to your campaigning for your criminal, Chillary.
