In my book a balanced budget is wherein you take in more money than you spend. Is that how you see it?
Actually, I wasn't making any claim about the budgets; although I can understand how you likely reached that conclusion.
I was simply trying to answer the "what years" part of your question; inserting information to a discussion you were conducting with somebody else.

Yes. But I am generally familiar with the duplicitous language and definitions that come out of Congress and the Office of the President.
