The Federal Debt was on the way to being paid off until the Fed and OBL screwed things up. But it's improving and will be on the way to being paid off once more.

Can I borrow your rose-colored glasses?

You've been reading - and believing - that DNC crap again.

Show me just one year in the last 20 (or more) when the Federal Debt was not larger than the previous year. Just one. Show me.

I know that. We were so close, but things broke the wrong way. Nevertheless, we were close and perhaps next time we will make the grade. The Federal debt should be gone in 12 years if we don't get carried away on foreign adventures and various social programs. Not the deficit; the debt. It can be done. Hip! Hip! Hurray!
