Clinton almost completely paid off the debt.

Yeah, but he did his part in contributing to the rise of fascism that has become inevitable in this country.

Don't Ask Don't Tell, NAFTA, Invented "Peacekeeping Actions" (So he wouldn't have to say he sent us to war.), The 94 Crime Bill, Welfare "Reform" (Meaning cuts, of course), Used the White House as a hotel in return for campaign funds, Took foreign campaign contributions from China

And he did all of these things when he wasn't fucking interns and taking trips on the Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein.
