was it the republican majority or did clinton and his staff spearhead the whole thing?why does clinton get credit for the surplus?
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.http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761564341_3/Bill_Clinton.htmlnow Newt claims they forced Bill to do this.
hmmm the repubs had the majority in the senate in clinton's first term right? how did it pass
republicans gained contol in 94. The agenda to reverse deficit spending was set by clinton before that.
yea but by the time they were in control wasn't the economy in shambles?
The economy was shit when Clinton won. The Bush years sucked.
