Clinton created job growth and a surplus budget

Reagan spent the crap out the coffers and ran an incredible deficit

Reagan is so overblown by the right it is ridiculous.
How did Clinton do that? Show me the legislation he got passed to get that going. As much as Reagan inherited crap Clinton inherited a rose and funny you should say that about Reagan, it was that spending that in large part created the environment and economy that Clinton enjoyed. Clinton was the first post cold war president. I will give him some credit for reducing the deficit but with the economy booming, tax coffers were full and since the Russians were no longer the threat they were military spending was greatly reduced. He was more a beneficiary of the time he lived than a creator of the environment.
