Did the National Debt increase when Bill Clinton was president?

No. Bill Clinton actually shrunk our national debt to almost nothing when he was president.
This is incorrect. The national debt increased every year of the Clinton administration. In no year did it go down.
What Clinton did is reduce the yearly DEFICIT, a couple of years. And even had a surplus budget in CONJUNCTION with a Republican controlled Congress. And that is good. But in no year was the surplus enough to offset the interest on the debt so the debt increased each year.

You can thank Bill Clinton for this.
