Clinton could have borrowed trillions. Our economy was florishing and other nations would have LOVED lending to us. However, he chose not to.
Bush borrowed 4.5 trillion.
Brix, you can scream about "what the dems would have done", but we have 8 years of evidence that given the chance, they didn't borrow trillions. They actually made money by the end. I doubt, in person with an audience, you'd claim the dems would blow 4 trillion bucks when clinton actually made $ at the end, but hey, I've seen people do sillier things.
