Strange, how can you have a "budget surplus" yet increase the national debt at the same time. Go back and look at the numbers, the national debt increased every year Clinton was in office, granted there were several very small increases, but they were increases none the less. So I am still amazed at the myth of Clinton running budget surpluses, when every year of his presidency the federal government had to borrow money. In addition, when Clinton left office the U.S. was in recession and the .com bubble had blown up. The "Budget surplus" was due more with fun with intra governmental holdings and transfers and lots of playing around with the Social Security "lock box".
I've also found it fascinating how libratards never want to look at reality. Dems have controlled congress for four years now. During that dime Federal Budget deficits have exploded. War Spending just keeps right on going and under this administration the wars have been expanded. The U.S. is engaged in war either with regular forces or JSOC/Special forces in at least 5 countries (likely more). The use of "guns for hire" contractors that liberals wailed and screamed about under Bush . . . has increased dramatically under the Obama administration. Currently the U.S. is engaged in an illegal drone assassination campaign inside Pakistan, that one legal expert said could technically get the administration tagged with war crimes. The official explanation from the Barry Administration as to why they have the "legal" right to carry out this campaign . . . "Al Qaeda attacked the United States on 9-11" . . . holy $hit where have I heard that before?? Now Barry and Hillary are running all over the place saying we can't let the terra-ists get nuclear weapons . . . Holy $hit where have I heard all of that before?? (this is becoming a recurring theme). Strange though, the U.S. is still prosecuting wars all over the world, expanding military bases in South America, NATO continues to encircle Russia, the administration loves the new U.S. tool of hegemony that being the concept of Prompt Global Strike capabilities (look it up) . . . yet the anti war protesters are gone from the street corner they gathered every Sunday when Bush is in office.
