So you forget that George Sr was the president. What did George Sr do? Raise taxes. Good things resulted from that balanced budget meaning economic growth during Clinton's watch.

George Sr was president before Clinton. Or did you conveniently forget. George Sr raises taxes making possible economic growth four years later.
