- lupire 5y agoEven the extremists admit (thought they try to hide it) the Bill Clinton paid down the debt by raising taxes and cutting military spending by not starting large new wars. Caro insulted Clinton for proposing a $200B/ye deficit, right before Bush 2 issued a one-year addition of $1T in new military spending for his personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein launched on false pretenses. https://www.cato.org/commentary/no-bill-clinton-didnt-balance-budget# https://www.cato.org/commentary/no-bill-clinton-didnt-balanc...
