That was forced on him by a GOP controlled House and Senate. The Govt shutdown in '95 was the result of Clinton refusing to sign balanced budgets that were passed by both the House and Senate. Guess who the House was led by? Yep, Newt Gingrich. The same House that forced welfare reform and that killed Hillary Care.
Read up on your history before you want to give Clinton credit for that. Clinton was forced to sign those budgets by the GOP. He didnt compromise, he had to surrender to save his chances for re-election.
