That is how budget deficits and budget surpluses are defined. If you need to stay ignorant then by all means do so. At least I know what a $200 billion dollar budget deficit means and what it does not mean. You unfortunatley do not know. That’s called clueless.
Have a good day.
“That is how budget deficits and budget surpluses are defined.”
I pointed out that those surpluses are not real surpluses. Liabilities are not income. The argument started because you were defending Bush on the basis of an federal accounting surplus and I responded by pointing out that said surplus was not real - exactly what Bush said in 2000.
So, Al Gore, have a good day.
