I'm not sure where this equivalency comes from. Clinton decided early in his first term that he wanted to win over Wall Street, and had to balance the budget to do it. It's easy to attribute the surpluses on his watch to the booming economy, but he could have proposed big spending initiatives to devote this money, and by and large did not.
