Clinton did leave with a surplus but also a recession.
This is part of the whole lefty idea that even when the right uses legal powers, they do it the wrong way or for the wrong reasons. Arguments that the left is totally immune to ("elections have consequences"-Obama).
The surplus was 100% smoke and mirrors. Plastic banana stuff, as Rush Limbaugh (rest in peace) would have said.
It was created on paper by categorizing a bunch of our debt obligations as "unfunded liabilities". Suddenly, when you don't account for ever having to pay stuff off, yowza, you're rich!
