Everything I found said Clinton did a better job with the debt/budget/deficit/debt than the last 3 republicans.
And I found this. A perfect example of fuzzy math. Bush's number don't even count war spending? Those are considered "supplimental". Democrats for years have wanted that spending to be included in his budget.
So he more than doubled the debt, you dumb monkey.
* $453 billion - the average annual defense budget for the nine years before Clinton took office.
* $377 billion - the average annual defense budget during Clinton's time in office, a 16.7% decrease.
* $496 billion - the average annual defense budget during Bush's time in office, a whopping 31% increase not even including the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, which are largely funded through supplementals not included in the official defense budget.

And these numbers were already adjusted for inflation, so dont' even try it.
Yes... and I was in the service when Clinton began to cripple the military... that is not something to brag about
