That's not actually true. They claimed to have a surplus, and public debt did go down, but intragovernmental holdings went up every single year as did the total national debt - because money that the government owes itself is still debt.
OT: I dunno, but since it was spent on treadmills for shrimp and measuring gay men's penises, I can't really complain since that's what I'd have done with it.
