>> How do you figure?
How do I figure? I figure by looking at the national debt at the end of each fiscal year and determining that it went up not down. I don't know why you people continue to post a graph that doesn't even address the issue.
Tell me in which year the national debt went down:
09/30/2001 5,807,463,412,200.06
09/30/2000 5,674,178,209,886.86
09/30/1999 5,656,270,901,615.43
09/30/1998 5,526,193,008,897.62
09/30/1997 5,413,146,011,397.34
09/30/1996 5,224,810,939,135.73
09/29/1995 4,973,982,900,709.39
09/30/1994 4,692,749,910,013.32
09/30/1993 4,411,488,883,139.38
09/30/1992 4,064,620,655,521.66
09/30/1991 3,665,303,351,697.03
And keep in mind that these figures exclude the massive increases in Social Security and Medicare unfunded liabilities.
The argument that Clinton "reduced" the national debt is demonstrably a liberal lie. |
