they were also aiming at deficit reduction

DEFICIT reduction, not DEBT reduction. The word, debt, doesn't appear on the page you linked.

If one wanted to debate the relative fiscal responsibility of the two parties, which I don't--I still say they're both irresponsible--you'd have to look at deficit. As I have said now I don't know many times now, the debt level is at best a distraction. It's a lame basis for an argument.
