Then why wouldn't the same circumstances of growing stock market and bubble economy have resulted in surpluses for W?
BTW, most of the credit for the Clinton era surpluses goes to Bush's father and the Congressional Democrats who laid the foundation for those surpluses with a combination of spending constraints and tax increases. Bush Senior, BTW, was crucified by his own party for cutting that deal.
