It's overly simplistic to say that Clinton balanced the budget. While the 1993 bill raised taxes and reduced defense spending, there would not have been a surplus without further cuts driven by Republicans in 1997.

There was also the dot-com boom, which of course wouldn't have happened without Al Gore inventing the Internet.
