So Bush is going to increase the national debt by several trillion with

special interests (war on Terror, education) where did the other 43
trillion in debt come from? Democrats who are not traditionally fiscally
responsible. And Jim you want to replace Bush with WHAT? A Democrat.

Where the federal debt is concerned, Republicans are #1.

This chart hides whatever the GDP was doing at the same time. If the GDP was
decreasing, and the debt remained constant, the chart would show an increase in
the percent of GDP. It is a typical liberal manner of showing data.

Find a chart with *both* numbers tracked. Then one can see what actually
occurred.

John -- rather than just challenging the data provided, why don't *YOU*
provide data to refute the argument. You're not in a classroom here!


I didn't challenge the accuracy of what was portrayed. I challenged the
implication that was made given the data presented.

But you *still* have not presented any data of your own to support your
position

If I were to present your brain weight as a percent of your body weight, I'll
bet the slope of the curve would be quite negative. That's not a slur on you,
it's just a fact.

*AND* you find it necessary to take cheap shots at anyone who challenges you


Never mind. If you believe the data supports the implication, then do so
happily. I wouldn't want to disrupt your serenity. There was no cheap shot.

Is this an admission of the fact that you can't find data to support
your claims, or you are too lazy to look?

I made no claims, other than to state what wasn't shown. Are you trying to say
that the GDP or the national debt *were* shown?

Your arguments are sounding more like basskisser's by the minute.
