Lets give Bubba credit for realizing that there was no chance of him moveing his agenda nor halting Gingrich's and so he cleverly chose to ride that tide lest he be crushed by it.  But no one in government  had a hand in the dot com boom (one could argue Greenspan). That boom eas the reason for the narrowed deficit. yes deficit as it was SS surplus going to the general fund as though it were income that allowed the illusion of surplus.
