National debt is measured on Value basis by definition while GDP is only correlated with the "Value" of the Economy Surely, a bright liberal like yourself know the difference and hence using intentionally misusing the numbers

"Probably" won't cut it. You are so far off the mark that it is clear you don't know what you are talking about." Recap: You said: "What has happened in the last 3 years is that for every dollar increase in GDP, there has been a six-dollar increase in debt." Message 20076600 I said: "As far as the National debt goes, its probably close to one to one." Message 20077757
