OK. Slowly, now. One step at a time. [God, why do I repeatedly do this?]
Pay attention, now, I'll only do this once.

You (b'asskisser) said, on 9 Sep, "There was NO debt when Bush took over.
None, nada, zilch. A balanced budget." By these words, I take it that you
mean that if you balance the budget, you have no debt, because you have not
spent more than you took in. This is all well and good, except that it is
wrong. When speaking of a single year budget shortfall, the proper term is
"deficit". If there is a Billion in spending, but only 900 Million in
revenue, there is a deficit of 100 Million. If your paycheck this month is
$6000, and your household expenses are $6600, there is a deficit this month
of $600. If there is a budget deficit, the government must then borrow money
from other sources to make up this deficit, (just as you do - either from
savings or from a credit card - because at the end of the day (or year), the
budget MUST balance, even if they must borrow three or four hundred-million
in order to effect the balance. This accumulated borrowing over the years
to cover budget deficits (less any pay offs) comprises the so-called
"national debt".

If you balance your budget, and have not spent more than you took in in
revenue, you have no deficit, no shortfall. You may well still have debt,
brought forward from prior years, accumulated from borrowing in order to
cover prior year deficits. It is entirely possible to have a balanced
budget AND debt. It is, in practical terms, not possible to have a budget
deficit and NO debt, as moneys to cover the deficit spending must be brought
into the treasury through borrowing, before the government can cut a check
on those funds.

So..... (whew!)...... when you said, on 9 Sep, "There was NO debt when Bush
took over. None, nada, zilch. A balanced budget.", you were using the term
"debt" interchangeably with the term "deficit", and doing so incorrectly.
In point of fact, when W took office there was, I believe, a balanced budget
in effect for that fiscal year, but substantial national debt remaining
accumulated from prior fiscal years. There was debt, but no current
deficit.

Basskisser,
I am totally lost. Are you saying that when Bush became President, that
there was no National Debt, the fact that the budget was balanced is proof
that Clinton had eliminated the national debt?

If not, please explain what you were trying to convey.

Well you did say, " "There was NO debt when Bush took over. None, nada,
zilch. A balanced budget." and then you said " If you have debt,
the budget isn't balanced.
You keep for getting THAT key word, BALANCED"

Since you agree you did not make a mistake in your statement, I would be
very interested where you saw that the National Debt when Bush took office
was none, nada, zilch.

According to the US government the National Debt grew each year Clinton was
in office and was in excess of $5.6 trillion when Bush took office.

The table below shows the growth of the National Debt since Clinton took
office.

09/30/2000 5,674,178,209,886.86
09/30/1999 5,656,270,901,615.43
09/30/1998 5,526,193,008,897.62
09/30/1997 5,413,146,011,397.34
09/30/1996 5,224,810,939,135.73
09/29/1995 4,973,982,900,709.39

09/30/1991 3,665,303,351,697.03

Is it possible that you do not understand the difference between the words,

Basskisser,
I am totally lost. Are you saying that when Bush became President, that
there was no National Debt, the fact that the budget was balanced is
proof
that Clinton had eliminated the national debt?


Apparently you ARE lost......you can't seem to comprehend plain
English. Go back and read it again...S L O W L Y, you just may get it!


b'asskisser, I am buying my house. I will be in debt to the mortgage
holder for
about another six years. That is the *only* long term (i.e. more than a
month)
debt I have. I make a household budget every year. The payments on the
debt are
part of my budget. At the end of the year, I will break even, have a
surplus, or
have a deficit. If I have a surplus, it means I took in more money than I
had
planned to take in, or I spent less on expenses than I thought I would. If
I
have a deficit, it means I took in less than I expected, or I spent more
than I
thought I would.

Notice that in none of these cases is my *debt* paid off.

Wouldn't it be easier to just admit you made a boo-boo than keep digging
yourself deeper?

NONE of the above cases has ANY similarities to the debt and budget of
the U.S. Only idiots use apples as an analogy when talking about
oranges.

Well you did say, " "There was NO debt when Bush took over. None, nada,
zilch. A balanced budget." and then you said " If you have debt,
the budget isn't balanced.
You keep for getting THAT key word, BALANCED"

Since you agree you did not make a mistake in your statement, I would be
very interested where you saw that the National Debt when Bush took office
was none, nada, zilch.

According to the US government the National Debt grew each year Clinton

was
in office and was in excess of $5.6 trillion when Bush took office.

The table below shows the growth of the National Debt since Clinton took
office.

09/30/2000 5,674,178,209,886.86
09/30/1999 5,656,270,901,615.43
09/30/1998 5,526,193,008,897.62
09/30/1997 5,413,146,011,397.34
09/30/1996 5,224,810,939,135.73
09/29/1995 4,973,982,900,709.39
09/30/1994 4,692,749,910,013.32
09/30/1993 4,411,488,883,139.38
09/30/1992 4,064,620,655,521.66
09/30/1991 3,665,303,351,697.03

Is it possible that you do not understand the difference between the

words,
debt and deficit?


He also is too stupid to to know what 'budget' means


Uh, no...it's just that YOU are too ****ing dumb to know what the word
BALANCED means......

Taco Heaven September 17th 04 01:08 PM

Basskisser,

So was there any debt during Clinton's administration? If not, why does the
US government disagree with you. According to them, the debt increased
every year during the 8 yrs Clinton was in office.

It seems that not only do you goosestep to the democratic line, but you
don't understand the democratic line.
