20. The Goverment books were balanced AND running a surplus and on track to zero out the debt

in the next 10 years the way I remember it. That would have been in 2010. Bush Jr. BLEW all that Clinton surplus on another tinkle down tax cut.

Now look at what we've got and how bad this will become with another round of huge tax cuts for those who didn't need the last TWO.
