The usual leftist's lie. The national debt went *up* every year
Clinton was in office. The books were cooked by borrowing money from
SS, federal pensions, and other sources.
But in fairness to Clinton (and you know how much that pains me),
those were practices that were in place LONG before he came on the
scene. So, he did have a relative surplus since these bookkeeping
shenanagins were in place before he came on the scene.

Only a leftist idiot could say "relative surplus" with a straight
face. The *fact* is that there were no "sourpusses" and any reduction
in deficit was caused solely by an overheated market (dot.bomb,
anyone?) and couldn't be anything but fleeting.
