But, I still believe the figures showing the total debt going up.

Well, they are now. But they weren't then.

Broken record, Ed.

But it's a lot easier just to say, "Clinton's a liar, so I don't believe the
budget figures for the late '90s."

No, Clinton is a liar _AND_ I don't believe his (or your) claims about
how a number getting bigger really is a number getting smaller. Not
a cause-effect, it's additive.

Remember, you were the one who made the assertion that it was all a lie, and
who quoted Treasury Dept. figures to assert your point. The problem is that
the Treasury Dept. itself explains that you were looking at the wrong
figures. You just didn't dig deep enough.

If you say so, Ed.

'No need to get annoyed about it. I was polite with you until you suggested
I was "insane." After that, I felt no compunction about pointing out the
fact that you don't understand what you're making claims about.

If you say so, Ed.
