    The point is that had the surpluses sustained, the debt could have been paid off by 2010.


    We never "pay down" the debt but simply pay back debt by borrowing and creating new debt.
    Untrue. There were several months in 1999-2000 when Treasury made payments to the debt, and the monthly debt statements reflect that. You can look for yourself here.

    It's a little white lie.

    You want to blame the debt on Democrats?

    You're lying to yourself.

    Democrats have actually done a better job of debt management than Republicans.

    Read again what I wrote. I said you are on the MMT train. Are you familiar with who is pushing it and what it calls for?

    Remember. Figures don't lie......LIARS FIGURE. Reality: This is Keynesian Economics in action......government attempting to spend its way out of debt.
    FOR THE RECORD:

    During the administration of Ronald Reagan...the federal debt increased 186%

    During the administration of George W Bush...the federal debt increased 101%

    During the administration of Barack Obama...the federal debt increased 74%

    During the administration of George HW Bush...the federal debt increased 54%

    During the administration of Jimmy Carter...the federal debt increased 43%

    During the administration of Bill Clinton...the federal debt increased 32%

    Hummm!

    And Obama was about 80% thanks to the Great Conservative Recession, the Bush Tax Cuts, Medicare Part-D, and the War on Terror.

    I guess we'll never know because Russia stole the election for Trump so that Trump would cede Syria to Russia and Iran.

    What deregulation? What economic boom?

    Federal tax revenues for 2018 were less than 2017.

    Many middle class workers saw their tax liability rise thanks to your shitty Russia Tax Cut.

    2017-2018 was the slowest pace of job growth since before Obama's 2nd term.

    The market didn't grow at all in 2018.

    Economic boom? For whom? For the wealthy, who did record stock buybacks and saw their incomes rise far above the national average (which has the effect of raising total wage growth #'s, skewing the growth).

    Most workers saw real wages remain flat or decline in 2018.

    But at least you got your wall...oh wait...

    Oops...the increase under President Obama was about 74%.

    Sorry I left that out. I'll try to edit it in after I check the figure.

    Another economics idiot.
    The national debit is a little more complicated than blaming Trump just like when you assholes blame him because the Dow goes down.

    A good portion of our spending is mandated.

    Will you post that during Obama’s 8 years the US debt increased 9 Trillion.
