As a result, we got Clinton, who continued Bush's economic policies, balanced the budget and ushered in a period of prosperity. Edit: I was thinking National Debt not annual budget. While researching to refresh my memory I did stumble across this gem: https://www.cato.org/publications/commen...nce-budget Interesting read. Regardless, I stand corrected.

With all do respect one of the biggest lies the dems tell themselves is that Clinton balanced the budget. Projections do not equal a balanced budget. Dot.com bubbles burst and real estate corrections occur. As long as base line budgeting is in effect there will never be a balanced budget. When there is a zero increase in a departments budget and it is considered a cut we have an issue with honesty and integrity. Furthermore when the media perpetuates that lie as they have done adnauseam years prior to Trump's election, then our society is doomed.Except that Clinton did balance the budget. The dot-com bubble burst towards the end and screwed W over, but there's no denying that for all of Clinton's other shortcomings (like, you know, the whole "being a sexual predator" thing), he did balance out an economy that was in the pooper when he stepped in. See above post. Thanks for correcting me.
