Clinton has a good politician, but Newt Gingerich was the real reason why the budget was balanced. After the Republicans took over Congress in 1994, Clinton was smart enough to work with the Republicans to cut spending. Clinton, of course, took all of the credit for the balanced budget, but he never would have even attempted doing this if Newt Gingerich hadn't been Speaker of the House.
But I do agree that Clinton was not a spendthrift. Jimmy Carter and Obama, on the other hand, spent every dollar they could and taxed the hell out of everyone!
I am not arguing with you in the least, but I love how when things go well the credit gets shared, but when things don't, it's all the president's fault.
Who would you vote for in 2016?
