Yes, I know about the SS/Medicare thing. The actual inlays were higher than the outlays, but some of the inlays were due to the SS fun being invested in government bonds. We can argue about the legitimacy of that and using the SS fund to buy bonds and whether that's actual governmental income.

 

I do agree with the sentiment that it's better to just raise taxes rather than counting on selling intergovernmental bonds.

 

Of course the major takeaway of Clinton's legacy is RAISE TAXES. It doesn't stop the economy from growing and it stops the national debt from infinitely growing.
