An increase of 2+ Trillion dollars isn't cutting the debt.

Hey, that's quite a story, Gunner. It says that you can easily achieve
economic growth if you pay for it with a credit card. It also says that Bush
has been running the economy into a rathole, but that he's achieved his
administration's lofty goal: he's only running us into a rathole half as
fast as he was!

A legacy to be proud of, fer sure.

Regarding your sleight of hand about the paydown of the national debt during
Clinton's administration: From what I can tell, you're saying that the
year-over-year debt reductions weren't real, because the 5- and 15-year
projections were wrong. Is that about it, or did I lose track of the pea
while you were shuffling the shells around?
