No I do not.




This is silly.  My whole point from the start is... the debt has gone up every year under Clinton without question.   You point is... well... irrelevant.  His figures prove that I was right, the debt has in fact gone up every year under Clinton.  Again, there was no 'surplus', he never 'paid down the debt' or anything.... it was LIES.


If you owe 5K, and your net income goes up next year, but you owe 5.5K, your debt as a percentage of income doesn't help anything, you still owe 5.5K.


What is the goal?  The goal is to be debt free.  The goal is to not have enemies of the US holding our debt.   Reducing debt as a % of GDP  does not help.  Only actually reducing our debt helps.


When the total outstanding debt is lower than the prior year, then we'll be getting somewhere.  Until then, the % of whatever matters not.
