Clinton got lucky that he was president during an economic boom. That brought in a lot of extra tax money. Instead of doing any real budget balancing he stole the money to make himself look better. That money should have stayed in the social security fund. And as you say, he forgot that there are costs associated with the ongoing maintenance of the country. The most legitimate cost is national defense.
