I don't see Clinton's name in there anywhere, do you?
Perhaps you should be crediting the Republican Congress, eh?
Unfortunately, the man most responsible for that surplus, Newt Gingrich, did not get the Republican nomination in 2012.
Democrat POTUSs plus a republican congress always result in lower deficits. When republicans control both sides of congress plus the POTUS, they could care less about deficits, but stick a dem POTUS in the White House and suddenly the deficit becomes the most important thing in the world.
You conservatives should vote for Hillary.
That's like saying...The reason Germany lost the War is because Switzerland stayed Natural
Diving Mullah

It's fascinating how the republicans can never seem to accomplish anything ....unless we have a democratic President.....:lamo
You know ...things like ....run a surplus...OR ...get Bin laden ..lol!!
I don't see Clinton's name in there anywhere, do you?
Perhaps you should be crediting the Republican Congress, eh?
Ummm...I have to say no on Hillary...unless you want the Republicans to have total control in Congress.
Anyway, the only thing Clinton can be credited for is that he pretty much got out of the way of his Republican Congress. Do you suppose Hillary will do the same?
Stayed Natural? What does that mean? Spending bills begin in the House.
I'll have to remember these sentiments the next time the state of the country is laid at Obama's feet.
Anyway, we all know Clinton generated a massive surplus -- and then Monica walk into the office...
The economy has actually been doing better since the 2010 elections. Thanks Tea Partiers!!
Obama continued to run exorbitant debts.
You really need to decide who is responsible for spending:

The DEmocrats controlled the House for the first two years, did you forget?
That's not my point -- either the House is ultimately responsible for spending, or the President is. Regardless of party. Make up your mind.
Err---I suggest you read the Constitution, it might clear things up for ya.
Unfortunately, the man most responsible for that surplus, Newt Gingrich, did not get the Republican nomination in 2012.
LMAO!! Clinton raising tax rates in 1993/94 while he still had a Democrat majority had nothing to do with it?
You people just don't get it...Reagan slashes tax rates for the rich and borrows three trillion dollars from foreign banks while he continues to spend.
Bill Clinton raises taxes and runs a surplus.
George W. Bush cuts taxes twice after assuming a surplus and doubles the debt. DUUUH!!
