The debt doubled after Bush and the gop cut taxes and went to war. We've never seen this level of incompetence and lack of fiduciary responsibly in history (other than Reagan and Trump of course). After the debt soared the US economy collapsed causing the debt to soar again. Instead of saving up for the next recession they did what republicans are doing now...they amassed debt so the US would go bankrupt as fast as possible. The Internet, the tax increases, the booming economy, the fall of the USSR of course all led to balanced budgets. The gop wanted massive tax cuts and if one had passed (Clinton imposed Paygo) we wouldn't have had one penny of surplus. So the options before the nation were simple. Keep the Clinton surpluses going by not cutting taxes or cut taxes, and hope to hell nothing bad happens. Their hopes were dashed when 9/11 happened so they lied about WMDs so they could have war and take our minds off of their lies about balancing the budget and paying down all the debt. The job of the gop is to bankrupt the US. It's been their purpose for decades.
