Now your changing your claim.

So the ratios are improving.

Not the debt to GDP ratio, only the deficit to GDP ratio.

And its improving not falling like a rock. Also improvement is to be expected coming out of a recession. It should have improved more. And for that matter if Obama had his way it would have improved less since there would have been more goverment spending.

How simple do you need it?

Correct would be nice whether its simple or complex. The only correct statement you've made in this whole conversation was that the deficit has decreased.

>> The deficit, on a yearly basis, has fallen every one of the years since 08 and GDP has risen every year. So the ratios are improving. They have to improve.

Were you thinking you'd sneak that little revision in and no one would notice?

Deficits peaked during Obama's first year; but that's a different thing altogether.

As several people have pointed out to you it appears that you studied economics under Jon Stewart.
