The old saying that you so aptly demonstrate: “He knew his way out of the harbor, but after that, everything was open sea.”
How about we simply agree that 'Clinton's your daddy' and then no one will expect any honesty from you about his record?
OK?
Or ...that you are simply a Leftwing automaton...and none will require you to think?
That better?
Or...
That you are simply clueless.
'Cmon...A, B, or C? Which is it?
"Clinton ran deficits throught all 8 years of his term, and one can go to the US Treasury Department and looking through the history of
the total outstanding debt through Clintons term.
Every year Clinton was in office, the total national debt continued to climb.
How Clinton managed to claim a surplus was that while the general operating budgets ran deficits but
Clinton borrowed from numerous off budget funds to make the on budget fund a surplus.
For example, in 2000, Clinton claimed a $230B surplus, but Clinton borrowed
$152.3B from Social Security
$30.9B from Civil Service Retirement Fund
$18.5B from Federal Supplementary Medical insurance Trust Fund
$15.0B from Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund
$9.0B from the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund
$8.2B from Military Retirement Fund
$3.8B from Transportation Trust Funds
$1.8B from Employee Life Insurance & Retirement fund
$7.0B from others
Total borrowed from off budget funds $246.5B, meaning that his $230B surplus is
actually a $16.5B deficit.
($246.5B borrowed - $230B claimed surplus = $16.5B actual deficit).
If there is ever a true surplus, then the national debt will go down.
the national debt did not go down one year during the Clinton administration.
How much surplus did the US have when Clinton left office
So much for your post. All I can say is that at least the ‘Rainman’ was good at math.
Now that I've provided actual numbers....who swallows droppings?
Open wide....
