You have to check the deficit as it stood before Clinton; then look at it the year he left office then the deficit as it stands now.
One of the reasons I don't get involved in dueling links is becuase something as plain as what has happened to the deficit is common knowledge and avialable to anyone who is interested. Mr Vinyl uses a little slieght of hand in posting the national public debt which reflects all debt's both public and private held by individuals as well as the government; such as mortgages and such.
Very tricky.
The issue of the entitlements goes pretty deep in our country. To be fair it would require a complete overhaul of all subsidy programs. The majority of the funds earmarcked for entitlements go to corporate and business wealth.
