Answer 1

One of President Clinton’s goals to improve the economy was "to share the responsibility for government debt reduction" since he knew that no single entity would be able to tackle the debt itself.

Answer 2

The correct answer is to share the responsibility for government debt reduction

He believed that debt reduction should have the support of all branches of the government and that all three branches should actively work to reduce the debt of the United States which had reached astronomic proportions. Because of his policies, this effort was successful and the US budget actually experienced a surplus.
