    he left office with a projected budget surplus

    It wasn’t a projected surplus, it was an actual surplus for his final two years. I suppose you could say it was also a projected surplus, but Bush II and Dick “Reagan Proved Deficits Don’t Matter” Cheney took care of that right quick.

      You’re right, but I think the point they were trying to make was that dubya inherited a surplus.
