Interesting take. Not to let facts get in the way of reality but as I recall during the evil Clinton years a few other phenomena occured:
The USD was strong on the world market and rising. (after only 3 years of Bush it nosedived to what it is now of course)
Inflation wasn't out of control
Unemployment was at a tolerable level
Your budget was about as "far more balanced than it is now" as it gets. (Bush set the spending trend you're on now, Obammer is just taking it to greater levels)
No comedian told me any of that, I lived through it. Yes I am Canadian, but a large part of my income came and still does come in the form of US currency from US sources for over 13 years now, well into the Clinton years. So call me crazy but I took an interest.
One thing ol' Clinton seemed to understand was that the bills have to be paid. Who's going to be paying your current ones? And before you start knocking the Obammer tell me, what would McCain have done different spending-wise had he been the one elected?
Now I command you to argue with me.
