      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

        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.
