Which specific years was there a balanced budget during the Clinton administration? Was it for the entire eight years? Or was it only after a Republican Congress was swept into power and enacted The Fiscal Responsibility Act in early 1996 as part of their Contract with America?


Neither; there never was a balanced budget.  There were projections it would be "balanced," if by "balanced" you mean not including the money they take out of the Social Security surplus every year that supposedly will be paid back later (yeah right).

Bottom line, kiddies: don't depend on the government to take care of you when you retire (or at any time, for that matter).
