Not sure what Clinton’s surplus was, but there’s no way it was 30 Trillion, that’s a ridiculous amount of money. The U.S. government is about 10 Trillion in debt now, and that’s huge amount.

Clinton was very fiscally responsible while in office, and brought the budget under control, but he only created a mild budget surplus.

and x3 on Obama’s socialist policies. Buy your guns now. Obama is up in the polls and he’s never voted against a gun ban of any kind in his life, he always votes for them. The soundbyte BS he pulls on the campaign trail about supporting the 2nd amendment is an outright lie.
