You used "actual" numbers for debt and "indexed" or "adjusted" numbers for
GDP. That's sneaky at best...

This debate will go round in circles.

I used numbers directly from the US Treasury. You used numbers supplied by
the
Bush Administration.

We should both be concerned that the numbers aren't reported using a
common
standard. Why doesn't the BEA site use the more favorable (to the
administration) numbers shown on the WH site? Or at least mention them?

Strange.

So we have each demonstrated that our numbers came from official govt
sources.
Your number proves your point. My number proves my point. Ergo, round in
circles.

Using you number or mine- how many think the economy is robust and
healthy?
