>we've heard the democrat talking point before, if you reduce the size of an increase you can run around and brag about how you're "cutting" it.

Wrong. That's not the point. In the years in question, the U.S. spent less than it took in. We borrowed no new funds. That's a surplus.

>The debt increased under Clinton. End of story.

But we still ran a surplus. The two facts are not mutually exclusive.
