Clinton didn't pay down the national debt at all. Not a cent. It was $6,657,400,000,000 before his presidency, and $9,817,000,000,000 afterwards. It increased by almost the exact same percentage as during George W. Bushes presidency and it went up every single year. I think you have the budget surplus confused with the debt.
I think it improved a bit six months after Bush took office and was only halted by the costs of the conflict in Iraq.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
