	The U.S. had a National Debt of almost 6 trillion when Clinton left office. Sorry, but you can't have a 40 billion surplus when you have a 6 trillion dollar debt. <br />

	No doubt Bush Jr spent like a fiend and just made things worse, but that 'surplus' was going to vanish either way because it never really existed.</div></blockquote>

	Hopefully you are not suggesting that long term projects of long life infrastructure (roads, bridges, aircraft carriers...) should be paid for in advance.</div></blockquote>

	I didn't get that, either.  But then again I didn't get why you were confused about the difference between an annual budget surplus and the overall national debt.<br />

	The fact is that Dumbya came in and gave out huge and stupid tax breaks that reversed the progress that was being made under Clinton.  Trickle-down economics returned on steroids and just look at the results.
