Clinton and Congress balanced the budget one year..simply speaking..
inputs match outgo....the total amount of the accumulated debt of the USA since 1776 is anywhere from 5 to 20 Trillion dollars depending on who is adding it up. The Federal Government engages in very deceptive and misleading accounting practices.
Conservatives used to defined as one who believes in balancing the budget...i.e. not spending money you don't have...
