Well i seem to recall that Clinton (a democrat) ran a surplus for a
couple
of years.

Since WWII, Reagan and the two Bushes are the only Presidents to add to
the Gross Federal Debt.

What you been ingesting? Every POTUS has added to the debt. Clinton ran it
up the first 2 years in office, until the Repubs took over. And the deficit
was still there. They used the SS money to cover the excess spending and
there was a huge surge from the dot.com excesses which was also spent. LBJ
spent a lot more than came in. And Carter gave us 17% inflation.
