A little clarity on the Clinton years - for the sake of a commentor

During the Clinton years as posted on the ustreasury.gov Website (a website that tracks the US Treasury):

Fiscal Year	Year Ending	National Debt	Deficit
FY1993	09/30/1993	$4.411488 trillion
FY1994	09/30/1994	$4.692749 trillion	$281.26 billion
FY1995	09/29/1995	$4.973982 trillion	$281.23 billion
FY1996	09/30/1996	$5.224810 trillion	$250.83 billion
FY1997	09/30/1997	$5.413146 trillion	$188.34 billion
FY1998	09/30/1998	$5.526193 trillion	$113.05 billion
FY1999	09/30/1999	$5.656270 trillion	$130.08 billion
FY2000	09/29/2000	$5.674178 trillion	$17.91 billion
FY2001	09/28/2001	$5.807463 trillion	$133.29 billion

Hmmm, looks like a debt not a surplus, and the Feds said Enron and others cooked the books and ultimately screwed their employees. The only unfortunate thing about this is the the "Federal Govt" cannot go out of business, but continues to screw the public every single day... The current tragedy: the brainwashed people thinking that "one person - the president" can solve any single one of their problems. Take care of yourself. Joke.

Just a reminder, I believe that federal govt needs to shrink no matter who is in charge. The current theme of federal government is change, expand, rescue, save.

I don't need to be saved, I don't want someone to CHANGE things for me, I am going to continue to do what I want to do when I want to do it. Including spending my money on what I want to spend it on, or not having a job and living on the street.

All I want from the Federal Govt is security, a protected land based on justice: the law.

Christ - most don't even talk to their neighbors anymore and at the same time believe we can "All come together for change"... What a joke.

this is a good read: "The Clinton budget surplus myth"
