I believe that the percentage of national debt relative to GNP feel last year -- 2001.

Which means what?  In terms of actual monetary amounts, we owe more every year.  The figure is not getting smaller.

It simply means that the average American paid less money on interest payments for the national debt as a percentage of their total income in 2001 then they did the previous year 2000.
