I completely agree. And as far as I know, the Clinton balanced budget was kind of a red herring. I'm sorry I can't remember where I had run into that. Doesn't change your point, and at least it was something they considered useful as a political goal. Unlike now.

Clinton was definitely riding a bubble, but at the same time he didn't introduce a giant giveaway to billionaires the same way Bush Jr and Trump did. So it's not so much that he created the situation as he didn't screw it up.
