William J. Clinton, the forty-second President of the United States
(1993-2001) 09/29/2000 $5,674,178,209,886.86 09/30/1992 $4,064,620,655,521.66 Thanks for supporting my point. The debt grew by a lesser amount in *eight* years under Clinton than it has in *four* years under Bush. |

John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD, on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! He has a habit of doing that lately, especially when he is on the losing end of a discussion. He did the exact same think to me twice just today. |

Because you poked fun at Clinton for presiding over a 40% increse in the debt, following the intellectually dishonest technique comparing radically different periods of time. It made no sense to repeat it. |

John previously posted: 09/29/2000 $5,674,178,209,886.86 09/30/1992 $4,064,620,655,521.66 "Pretty close to 40%, and no war! With a budget surplus! With huge military cuts! With the dot.com bubble causing capitol gains tax collections to go through the roof! No federalizing of a huge airport security force! " What is so strange about the time periods he quoted. He took office in January 1992 and left January 2000. It made no sense to repeat it. For you perhaps. |

What is so strange about the time periods he quoted. He took office in
January 1992 and left January 2000. I'll type very slowly and see if that helps. 1. I pointed out that the national debt has increased by about 40% since Bush took office. 2. John H rebutted that it also increased about 40% when Clinton was in office *** Important difference: The increase under Clinton took place over an eight year period. The increase under Bush in four. Not an equivalent comparison. ******** At the rate the Bush debt is increasing, it could easily be *double* what it was in 2000 if we see "four more years" of unrestrained spending by the party that is supposed to be fiscally conservative and believes in "small government". |

Do you assert that the radically different periods of time had no bearing on
the debt? By radically different I assume you're referring to the events that occurred, correct? John, I thought you were a math whiz. Story Problem: Bill sold his business to George. During the last *eight* years that Bill operated the business, he increased the firm's debt by 40%. When George bought the business, he assumed Bill's debt- and within *four* years increased that amount of that debt by an additional 40%. Was Bill or George borrowing greater amounts of money? Which manager was increasing the debt at a faster pace? |

Not an equivalent comparison. So? Bush faced far greater challenges as I previously posted. Or should I have typed them slower for you so you could understand Chuck? |

Not at all. But I do understand that some statements look even more absurd when highlighted as the only item on the page, rather than surrounded by meaningless pap. When somebody posts a long batch of nonsense leading to a false conclusion, it is appropriate to refute the conclusion without having to repeat all the nonsense. |
