That's true. The deficit in Clinton's final year was about 1/30th the deficit in Bush's final year. I'd take 3% of the current deficit any day.

In real terms (accounting for inflation), the total deficit declined quite a bundle that year.

You are quibbling over a couple of hundred billion. That won't even pay bonuses on Wall Street. AIG got a lot more than that,
To be relevant, talk about trillions. Are we a trillion or two better off now or when Clinton was in office ?
