That is Absolutely true Scott.
But to say you have a "Surplus" is misleading. The debt did rise with Clinton but not very much. I should have included that.
It is a complex issue and sound bytes don't tell the whole story.

When Clinton took office the debt was around 4.5 Trillion. It continued to rise but slowed dramatically and almost completely leveled out at about 6 Trillion.
Who was responsible is the question. My position is that Clinton did not reduce the debt.

I can say one thing for Clinton. He was an Honest Liar. He did finally almost admit he lied, under oath, to congress. LOL.

My Party Andrew? No. Not any longer. I do admit to being Republican in the past but the last couple years have tainted my view.
But I won't be joining the Democratic party either. Just too liberal for me.

Reagan? Yes the rise did start with Reagan.
Yes the debt did rise about 1 Trillion. from about 1.5 Trillion to about 2.5 Trillion.
About the same as Clinton.
