They mention Clinton because when he left office, the federal government was running at a surplus and was paying down the national debt. However, that changed after Bush came to office and passed tax cuts before starting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Republicans: let’s increase spending like crazy while giving all the rich discounts, plummeting our income. In the meantime we just pretend that we’re spending less than Democrats
Pretty sure it’s actually Nixon’s fault from 1971

What could possibly go wrong?
I never mentioned fault I just said Clinton was the last POTUS to create surplus. I blame Reagan for cutting taxes.
