Here, here. I was going to make the same point to counter sikrav's comment, but you beat me to it. Under Clinton the US had the largest budget surplus in our history.
From CNN.com
President Clinton announced Wednesday that the federal budget surplus for fiscal year 2000 amounted to at least $230 billion, making it the largest in U.S. history...
And just 3 short years later, under Bush Jr. and a Republican Congress Majority, the current administration has run the worst deficit in our history.
Also from CNN
This week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected deficits of $401 billion in 2003 and $480 billion in 2004, both the widest deficits in dollar terms in the nation's history
If you ask American's whether they are better off than they were 4 years ago, guaranteed a majority of us would say NO.
