17. Well, we never had a true budget surplus to begin with. |

That was only the Social Security surplus during the Clinton years.
That's not to say that Clinton didn't reduce debt. Unfortunately, he did it on the backs of poor black mothers, rather slashing the military to the bone. At least he and Bush I both had the sense to raise taxes. This Bush doesn't care at all about the country's fiscal well-being.
