The reality is that that surplus was on paper only. It didn't really exist. Clinton rolled a dice and put our debt on low interest, short term bonds instead of moderate, very long term bonds. If the economy had collapsed earlier then the US (but not the Clinton) debt would have ballooned enormously. Kind of what Clinton did with Bin Laden. He had the chance to take him down but deduced that anything Bin Laden did would be on the next president's watch and not his problem. So Clinton had Bin Laden sent to Afghanistan by the Suden and 9/11 happened. That's why Clinton is the godfather of 9/11.
That claim of a surplus is all about the ratio of the deficit to the GDP. It was a negative for three years including one of Bush's so I guess you can call that a surplus but it's not and never has been real. But let's play along and say it was real, okay Clinton got a got economy curtesy of Reagan and Bush. If you want to give him credit for someone else's work then I guess that is the democratic way. Of course, you are also saying that Obama is a major failure, a very major failure and Hillary be extension wants to continue that failure.
So you can claim a surplus, a good economy under Bill (a myth) but to do so you have to condemn Obama and Hillary. Is that what you're saying Lubed?
The final proof that Trump doesn't have the Temperament to be POTUS!!!
