I actually fucked up my numbers initially and corrected them in my original post, but the point stands that Clinton didn't pay doubt the national debt at all.
All of it is irrelevant anyway, we tend to think that the president is this entity with control over so much. He doesn't make or vote on budgets, his only say is with his veto stamp. It's a bit of irony when someone gives credit to Clinton for the one year of measley budget surplus, because they are unwittingly giving credit to the Republican congress at the time.
Oh I give them credit because it also means I can give them credit for the financial collapse that surfaced under Bush.
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.
