Colin, the discussion isn't about what causes a recession, there are many things not related to deficit reduction that cause recessions, you know it, I know it. Not the issue.
The question is simple:
With a democrat in the whitehouse, the economy expanded more than twice as fast as the debt.
With a republican in the whitehouse, that number has changed dramatically, even during an almost exact dollar for dollar increase in the GDP. The GDP is only growing 1/3 faster than the debt.
Just one of those things. I won't keep going back and forth, I just see it as a little weird, thats all.
