The biggest reason for the improved fiscal situation at the time was the general economic growth. The 2nd biggest reason was the Republican congress putting a restraint on spending. Its true that Republicans today seem to have joined Democrats in losing the desire to put a break on spending but in the 90s they did a decent job of it.

Not only did the Republicans not vote for the Clinton deficit reduction plan, many of them railed that it would cause the biggest depression in the country since the 30s, and would cause the deficit and debt to mushroom even more exponentially than it did during the Reagan-Bush years.
