Clinton didn't really have a surplus. The govt is not balancing their books.

Are we talking about "the Government" or an administration?

Are we talking fiscal responsibility of Dems versus Reps here? If so, then ALL Administrations have had to work in a system that is far from perfect.

How the deficit is calculated has not changed across administrations - so a comparison is still possible. Why hold Clinton to a higher standard of honesty than Bush?
