   Well if we didn't have a deficit why wasn't the debt paid down?   
      
   See it's a pretty simple formula   
      
   Revenue - Expenditures = Surplus or Debt.   
      
   Is the National debt declined over the year we had a surplus, if the   
   national debt increased then it was a debt.   
      
   Oh, sure you can move money around and confuse the issue but in the end, you   
   either got enough in revenue to cover all expenses or you didn't.
