>> Look at my later post dopey

As a salesman I'm not sure you can understand this.

But let's assume I owe you $1,000,000 at the start of the year.

Assume further that inflation increases at a rate of 10%, I make no further borrowings or payments on said debt during the course of the year.

How much to I owe you at the end of the year?

Case Closed. You can adjust it anyway you'd like, but it does not change the fact that Clinton increased the debt each an every year he was in office.

I would add, and it is significant, that if the government couldn't eliminate the deficit during those years -- when we were in the midst of a massive economic bubble -- the chances of doing it in any future year is pretty much nil.

Which is why it is so critical that we not continue adding debt as Obama has us doing. It is a disaster for the country, whether or not you inflation-adjust it.

We can argue about the Clinton years, but there is no arguing about the last six months. The Obama deficit is so out of control our children will never be able to repay it. Ever.
