Myth of the Clinton surplus

[Mr. Shaman]

I'd take clinton in a new york minute right about now....

obama will be known as the worst president in history.

in reality, he's a traitor.

That title belongs to Bush. 8 years, 3 million jobs.....

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....3 million!!!!​

Bill Clinton:
22 million jobs!!!​

Just like a liberal. Show up late and empty handed!

Uh, doofus, the debt was "eliminated" by legislation passed by democrats in 1989 that put the Social Security Trust Fund ON budget and took the Social Security Liabilities...THE PAYMENTS...OFF budget starting in 1992!

Political fuzzy math with NO basis in reality!

DONE...plain and simple.

The actual economy SUCKED until the republican controlled congress LOWERED the marginal tax rates in 96!

Really, this has all been covered in the first 3 pages. DO try to keep up!

There was a Clinton Surplus

George Bush told us so

I hope you'll join me in standing firmly on the side of the people. You see, the growing surplus exists because taxes are too high, and government is charging more than it needs. The people of America have been overcharged, and, on their behalf, I'm here asking for a refund.

Bush used the Clinton surplus as a justification to cut taxes

The "Clinton Surplus" Was mostly Bullshit, the Product of a Combination of a surge in Revenue from a soon to Burst Tech Bubble, Funny math, and a little rapping of the SS slush fund, and Republicans in Congress made it happen, Not Bill Clinton.

Republicans used the Clinton surplus as an excuse to cut the tax rate

Anti-GREEDY PRICK Economics​

"Here’s the truth. America has a huge budget deficit hanging over our heads. If the rich don’t pay their fair share, the rest of us have to pay higher taxes — or do without vital public services like Medicare, Medicaid, Pell grants, food stamps, child nutrition, federal aid to education, and more."

Eight years of peace? Really?

Yeah -- I was gonna flag that myself..

I remember a Chinese Embassy and several commuter trains getting in the way of our emaculate 40 day/40 night bombing of Serbia.. DAILY pounding on the Iraqis til we LITERALLY ran out of bombs. Mad AllBright declaring the 200,000 dead Iraqi citizens considered to be "justified"..

Let's see --- Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo --- did I miss anyone that got bombed. Just put your hand up if I did..

How about the '93 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Yes indeed, and the Embassy bombings of 1998.

I know how things are done and Clinton ran a surplus.

EDIT - Clinton AND the Republican Congress. Newt gets as much credit as Slick Willie.

Go to the budget site and download the budgets. You can see them there.

Surplus = cash inflows - cash outflows. That's what happened for four years. If you want to see how we can run a surplus and have total debt grow, see the link I posted above.

Nobody with a clue makes this argument.

The best Clinton and Newt can say id they balanced the budget......There was no surplus....Hell the politicians couldn't even follow the budget they balanced.

President Clinton: 8 years of peace, progress and prosperity.

You know why because Rep had control of the house and senate. Bush had good years until the liberals took control of the senate and house.. How ironic that works

Of course, Bush had a GOP controlled Congress, a surge in revenue from a soon to burst housing bubble, "fuzzy math," and he "raped the SS slush fund" and yet he never had a surplus, so the difference must have been Clinton.

No myth.

Bush: Surplus Justifies Tax Cut

President Bush said Saturday that the most important number in the budget he sends to Congress next week is the $5.6 trillion surplus it projects over the next 10 years.

That huge projected surplus provides the underpinning of all the administration's tax-cut and spending plans, Mr. Bush said in his recorded weekly radio address.

You republicans only started calling it a myth after you squandered it in Iraq and on tax breaks to the rich.

You used the surplus as justification for tax breaks. That means either you were lying in 2001 or now. Which is it?
