So you say to yourself as a democrat...that's good news, at least he was reducing the deficit, and if that bastard bush didn't take office we'd be paying off the national debt as we speak.

The truth is
During Bill Clinton’s presidency, from 1992 to 2000:
- Spending increased by 29.49%.
- Tax revenues increased by 85.58%.
So, he had a little help from the American tax payer. Not that I'm going to say Bush has done a good job controling the budget. Just on the off chance anybody listens to your ridiculous claims.
