More Clintonesque budgetary slight of hand, the equivalent of paying your Visa with your Master Card.
You have yet again proven your economic ignorance. It's kinda like saying that if you have a mortgage, you are bankrupt. I hate to break it to you, but annual deficits/surpluses are different than total debt (i.e., you can have an annual operating surplus, but still have debt). Stick to what you understand, though that seems to be precious little.
