% of stupid = policyThat was the point. The statement was made that under Clinton the debt went down. The debt did not go down. Why is this so hard?Now I get your statement about debt as a % of GDP, but I find it irrelevant. If the goal is to continue fiscal irresponsibility by over spending every year provided our debt only increases enough to keep the same percentage, then I'm against that policy. That is just another way for liberal tax and spenders to justify out of control government projects."Hey the GDP has increased enough we can blow $300 Billion deficit and still be under XX% of GDP"No I don't buy it. Here, try this. Spending < revenue. No dumb percentage of whatever irrelevant figures. We'd have that if the repugs had gotten the balanced budget amendment passed. Congress doesn't get paid if there's a deficit. Sounds good to me.
