they both claim credit.  I don't think Newt saying it was all republican is right.

In 1993 Clinton submitted to Congress a budget that reduced federal spending and increased taxes. With every Republican in Congress voting against it, the budget passed in both houses without one vote to spare. Clinton’s budget victory reversed the trend of rising deficits, and it stimulated the economy.

now Newt claims they forced Bill to do this which is not true.  The direction was set by Clinton to reverse deficit spending.

Sorry, I probably haven't argued these issues since 2000.

not sure how that applies to your question?  If we're looking at who is responsible for the surplus and Newt claims the republicans forced Clinton's hand, that's just not totally true if Clinton came in with the goal of reversing deficit spending.
