....no, ace...where we differ is much simpler than your description, above. I eliminated the "misleading deficit", because I only compare the constant....year to year....and Oct. 1, 200x to Feb. 23, 200x....of increases in total federal debt.
I demonstrated multiple times....in my last post, and in the other two that I linked to in my last post.....that the "deficit reduction" you refer to, is misleading.
Haven't you contradicted one of your main points that I've already highlighted in bold? Here is what I responded to....challenge my points....not your own about meaningless deficit reduction, masked by "off-budget" deception....and what of the "strong economy"....isn't "where it's headed", the "reality" argument?....it doen't look good, going forward (Visit the "Ailing Companies" link on the "implodometer" page in my last post):

I think the problem you see is the result of the fact that liberals don't have much to complain about other than Iraq.
