"What did Clinton do to take this country into a surplus."

Glad you asked.

This was the seminal legislation that got America back on track.

en.wikipedia.org

Of note is that, although this act is generally regarded as having initiated the economic and fiscal measures that resulted in our achieving a balanced budget, and a surplus into Shrubs administration, not a single Republican in either house voted for it, and Al Gore as the sitting Vice-president was needed to break the tie in the Senate.

It really is sorta deja vu all over again in terms of who has the proper sense of what the country should do, and who will fight tooth and nail to protect their moneyed handlers...
