Ahem, point of order. A male Jefferson fathered children with the slaves. There is no significant evidence that it was TJ, and indeed it would be significantly more likely to be his brother or nephew given that they were contemporarily known to 'party' with the slaves, to the point there are multiple primary sources mentioning this fact.

No, Clinton left a minor current surplus driven entirely by the efficiencies introduced by home computing and the rise of the internet economy and a projected surplus based on hilariously unrealistic assumptions, especially as he was leaving office the dot com crash was happening. Amusingly, most of those investors fleeing the dot com crash would invest into housing, an area already highly distorted by policies Clinton encouraged and subsidized, leading to poorly rated CDSs to become the norm in the field across all housing strata and leading directly to the 2008 housing crash.
