Balanced budgets?
He cut taxes ran the debt up from 998 Billion to 2.8 Trillion in 8 years. and that is even after he raised taxes 11 times.
He was the first President to have a spending budget of OVER a trillion dollars
Then PAPA Bush took over and he ran the budget up 1.554 Trillion in 4 years to 4.4 Trillion dollars
Clinton came in and being a DEM. you would think the way Republicans talk he would have rune the debt up at least as much as Bush did in 4 years but NO Clinton increased the debt by 1.39 Trillion 158 Billion less then Papa bush did in 4 years.
Just thought I would ask if those are the Conservatives you were talking about
