Not true, the national debt clock in NYC has been going backwards for some time now, for the first time in many years. Please do not lie. In Bush Sr's era it was going up $35,000 per second at one point.

Ish this is to the thread, it just happened to be a response to your post. Just a small correction. The surplus is projected to be about $4 billion over the next ten years, although through the brilliance of the slick willy economy, they have managed to lose 20% of about $3 trillion(loss in capital markets since March), or $600 billion in capital gains, that would have come in over that period. So make it $3.4 trillion (and given market conditions, falling fast). The $21 trillion in spending will take place come hell or high water. Now if gore wins, look for spending to be about $25 trillion, because there is no way he is going to give a tax cut. Slick willy was going to give a tax cut when he ran in 92, and guess what, you never got it. The $25 trillion figure is total projected revenues over the next 10 years.
