I heard there was a 550 million dollar surplus when he left office, and then bush came in and that *cough* didn't last long... That was on an american news channel years ago, but it was in graph form so remember it pretty well. But really, does it suprise anyone?

Presidents dont leave surpluses when they leave office. Presidents dont leave deficits when they leave office. Presidents tend to get credit (or blame) for these things but the truth is that the congress is much more responsible for spending than any president. Partisans on either side of the isle like to use these issues for political leverage but the ugly truth is that our government spends our money like it's going out of style. I personally wish they would stop finger pointing long enough to actually fix the problem.
