Clinton reduced nothing. He was against a balanced budget amendment from the beginning. And did next-to-nothing to support our current (relatively) better fiscal discipline.

He was against Welfare reform until it was slammed down his throat by congress. And the congress routinely sent up budgets which spent less then he wanted until he finally signed them.

During the eighties, I never remember hearing Tip O'neil say. "But mister President, we can't spend this much because it might bust the budget"! Tip O'neil and the Democratic congress of the 80's never saw a program they didn't want expanded, or a penny cut from any pork barrel project. They were the biggest spenders, (Until Gore) to come along in politics for decades.

Al Gore now wants to spend an additional 2 TRILLION dollars on new government programs. If you're worried about deficits (which you seem to be) then you should be trumpeting the lesser spending initiatives of George W. Bush, instead of Al (socialist) Gore.
