Very slight. I thought I saw something like 1 point some tril that Clinton added to the national debt in his 8 years. (Of course this is no comparison to the 5 point some trillion from Bush for 8 years.) The surplus sounds nice. I like how the U.S. government pats itself on the back sometimes. As far as I'm concern, if I have a deficit every year, I don't have a surplus. But it's not like I understand how the government manage their money or anything.
