Yes, those are BUDGET surpluses and deficits. That’s how they ae defined. You keep confusing national debt, intergovernmental debt, and budget debt.
At least I understand the meaning of the far right hand column in the US Tresury monthly statement linked below. You on the other hand haven’t a clue as to what the column means as you have proven over and over.

“Yes, those are BUDGET surpluses and deficits. That’s how they ae defined. You keep confusing national debt, intergovernmental debt, and budget debt.”
You keep confusing the concept of actual deficit (as in income - outlays) with something else entirely. Liabilities are not income, they are liabilities. Defending Bush’s spending based on this is asinine. I keep trying to point out to you that what the government says is a surplus isn’t, but you just refuse to understand.
You probably believe Obama’s unemployment numbers too.
