PS- There was no Clinton surplus. It is a liberal myth told around the campfires by liberals wanting a good bedtime story. Clinton added to the national debt every year he was president. Even the republican congress (responsible for spending) could not completely save him from himself.

The far left thinks if they repeat the Clinton myth enough they can re-write their history.

Obama will leave a surplus of debt exceeding by more than 5.5 $Trillion what it was when he took office in 2008, assuming a 2012 defeat, nothing more.

Obama will leave China with the biggest surplus it ever had, and with the US decades closer to being the next Greece.

I hope the nation survives.

Is this thread a joke?

Surplus of what?

Debt
Homeless people
Food Stampers
Bankruptcies filed
Foreign DONATIONS/handouts

We handed him, no wait, he STOLE 800 billion dollars from the small amount of us who actually pay taxes and tossed it into the trash can and you have to ask this question?

The man could not run a popcorn stand and make money on it so how is he going to do anything but continue his daily mistakes and poor decisions?


Instead of the food stamp President he should be called the MISTAKE A DAY PresiDUNCE.

FY1994.... 09/30/1994.... $4.192749 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

so here is the question

IF there was a surplus.for 2-3-4 years...........why did the DEBT go from 3.9 trillion to 5.80 trillion????????????????????????

clintons closest 'surplus' was a 17 billion dollar deficit

uhmm...there never was a true surplus

there was a PROJECTED BUDGET surplus, but since things were OFF BUDGET (just like under bush and his wars) the DEBT continued to climb

look at the 100's of BILLIONS TODAY being spent on the flooding from the mississippi river...off budget(not that the liberals even bothered to pass a budget for this year)

Isn't it amazing how many times you have to post those figures and many people (liberals) still don't understand? I bet in a few months someone else will make the "Clinton left a surplus claim!"

For someone with such a handle you certainly have none. I can't even imagine what The Failure In Chief would do in a second term when he has no concerns about getting re-elected. Based on his total disregard for the American people and his countless epic failures and trainwrecks it wouldn't be pretty to see. Thankfully he's sealing his own fate by losing support due to his actions every day.

Nah.

He will only win if the MSM continue to protect him with the same lies and deceit that they've been doing since 2007.

He has an actual record now.

He can't hide from it.

He can't vote "present".

We need a conservative with the balls to go after him for his history of cozying up to commies, America haters and radical islam.

Then talk about his failed policies.

When you voted for him, did you hope for a 3rd war, 9% unemployment, gitmo still being open, illegally murdering someone in a sovereign nation, a worse housing market, $5 TRILLION in additional debt and a world exploding around us?

I think Obama will leave office in a nonplus.

[Vinylville]

I think Bush voters are the reason 22 trillion dollars in the USA evaporated before Obama even got elected. Problem is they're too dishonest to admit it.

Forbes Magazine is the far left? Because they wrote ARTICLES (PLURAL) showing the exact costs of the Bush 8 year debacle. 22 TRILLION.

There was no myth about the surplus except in your brain. Forbes disagrees with you too.
