What accounting trick was used to create the illusion of a budget surplus during the Clinton administration?
When the Clinton administration announced they had passed a budget that created the first budget surplus in decades, some group dissected the budget and found that it was an accounting trick; some budget items were moved off-budget, to the exact amount of the fictitious surplus. I remember that announcement coming out, but I don’t remember who exposed this fraud or the details of the budget trickery. Anybody have that information?
