For the Clinton boom, it also took a telecom boom, an internet boom, both with associated stock market gains resulting in more spending and more taxes form capital gains, plus a moderate reduction in military spending (GHW Bush was actually going to cut military spending more than Clinton, but he didn't get elected.) ******** I expect it will take at least a partial exit from Iraq, and some other cuts in Defense acquisition, along with a slow down in non-defense items to get close to neutral. Also, tax collections and economic growth will need to match increases in non-military Federal spending. 2007 budget deficit is about 220-260 billion out of a 2,600 billion. Rough overview, not up to usually Wikipedia Standards - en.wikipedia.org

clinton's surplus was a shimmering mirage wrapped in off-book accounting trickery disguised under flimflam bullcrap swallowed whole by the electorates look off-balance sheet, where the truth usually resides between fiat money inflation, taxation, user fees, taking on of debt, etc, etc, the tax bill is very high the bill has been paid to a large/substantive/material extend by foreigners due to dollar reserve status when the reign of dollar ends, the plug is then pulled, switch clicked, drip feed line yanked, and dark interregnum putted between flat line and revolution, i hope the electorates will be able to figure out the best course of action
