You changed your post huh? Bush had a surplus when he took office....hmmmm.
No congress already had the budget under control before Clinton took office. All little Billy had to do was to follow the plan set in motion. He never really had to deal with a problem like a war, he avoided it!!!!! What did he do when the Marine barracks were attacked? hmmm nothing! What did he do when the USS Cole was attacked? hmmmm nothing! What did he do when he had douche bag Bin Laden on a silver platter?
HMMMM NOTHING!!!!
After Gingrich and the Republicans swept into office in 94 with the "contract with America", Clinton worked with Congress to balance the budget. Don't forget that Clinton pushed the
largest tax increase in US history in his first 2 years which led to the Republicans winning Congress for the first time in 42 years in 94. Things that make ya go HMMMMMM, but ya you credit all to Clinton! LMFAO!
