Over the last few days I’ve heard several people mention the Clinton surplus. Because of the way the issue has been muddled I never respond by using the word surplus, I simply ask them if they are aware that there was never a year where the federal government took in more money than it spent.

Some info here.

One take on Sarah Palin, a not so favorable take too.

But it was just a speech. Still, she could have either done well or fallen flat, and she did well. Judge for yourself…
