Since you are so fond of the expression you are entitled to your own


opinion but not to your own facts" google defense budget by year or something similar. You can find any number of graphs that look like below. Some are in % GDP, some are in dollars, but by any measure the peak defense dollars look to be 1986 or 87. The trend is clearly down for several years before Clinton occupied the White House. Sorry, but those are the facts for everybody.

To be clear, I do not think that Clinton did anything wrong with regards to the budget, only that he gets far more credit than he deserves for balancing it.
