Clinton did run a balanced budget, he didn't use the surplus to reduce debt tho.

No, he used that money to spark the problem we are in today. With the surplus, he started the sub prim lending craze with the intent of lifting home ownership from 60%, to 66%. He also felt bank owners made to much money, and he wanted in leverage there money to help people buy homes. 

Now, why in the world should a president give a shit about how many people own homes? That's not what we elect a president to do.
