LOL. Your detritus fails. Woefully. Clinton fought deficit reduction at every turn. Clinton's huge tax increase in 1993 came with huge planned spending increases, which the GOP defeated. Clinton didn't raise taxes to balance the budget, you fool, he raised taxes in order to raise spending. But all the new spending was defeated and Clinton was livid. That tax increase did slow the economy from the rate it had been growing. History, if not Woodward, shows that Clinton fought balancing the budget as did the Dems in Congress. Clinton wanted any balancing to be done at least 10 years out, well after he left office. But the 1994 elections changed everything. Woodward could just as well give Clinton credit for welfare reform, another "success" Clinton fought until the 1996 election loomed. "Maestro" - other than demonstrating that Greenspan provided adult supervision to the Clinton Regime - is a joke and has been thoroughly debunked to the extent that Clinton receives credit for balancing a budget he never wanted to balance.
