In 1998, the federal government recorded its first
budget surplus in more than 25 years. Now, after
an extended period of deficits and three consecutive
years of surpluses, both the White House Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO) have projected annual
budget surpluses for at least the next decade. The
turnaround in the outlook for the U.S. government's
finances is stunning. Under current policies, budget
projections show that publicly held government
debt, which is currently a little more than $3.5
trillion, will be eliminated by around 2010-perhaps
earlier if the economy continues to grow faster than
anticipated.1

Bill Clinton did not technically balance the budget during his presidency. However, he did make significant progress in reducing the federal deficit, and his administration projected a balanced budget for fiscal year 1999. Ultimately, it was during the presidency of George W. Bush in 2001 that the United States experienced a brief period of budget surplus.
The federal government practiced deficit financing. That is, it spent more than it took in each year and borrowed to make up the difference. The government relied on deficit financing to deal with the Depression of the 1930s, to raise money for WW2, and to fund wars and social programs over the next several decades. In fact, the government's books did not show a surplus (more income than spending) in any year from 1969 to 1998. As a result, the public debt rose year to year to more than $5.5 trillion at the beginning of fiscal year 1999.
