There are two charts on the FAQ page - one shows actual
values, the second is adjusted for inflation. It's the second chart
that shows it was dropping, probably because Clinton balanced the budget.


Then the chart is worthless as Clinton never balanced the budget.

Believe me, we were stretching it when we did five-year projections,"
said Leon E. Panetta, who was once Clinton's chief of staff, his
budget director and chairman of the House Budget Committee. "Any time
you get out beyond a few years, you're in never-never land." And from
the Republican side, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete V. Domenici
of New Mexico, said: "I don't think [Clinton] should have done 15-year
numbers. It created a distorted picture. It made the numbers look way
too big." (Surprise, surprise! Bill Clinton did something that created
a distorted picture! WFI Editor)


Projections that dont come true..arent real.
