How did bush inherit a 5.8 trillion dollar debt if Clinton left office debt free?
Don't confuse the national debt with the national deficit. The national debt is the accumulated debt carried from year to year. The deficit is the difference between tax revenue and government expenditure in a given year. Clinton was able to get expenditures below revenus while he was in office (known as a budget surplus), but he was not able to eliminate the debt. Clinton inherited a massive debt from GHW Bush (which he inherited from Reagan), and passed an only slightly smaller debt to GW Bush.
