The problem with fiscal years is the run over from one administration to another. So Bush's wasteful spending kills the Clinton surplus.I have busted this surplus myth over and over and over and over and over and over and over again... try to understand total government spending, people... and when you understand it you can easily see that not one single year in the past 50+ has there been a surplus
And before we have yet another idiot come in here and try to use something other than the fiscal year... please remember that the fiscal year is the official tracking for government financial accounting
Now CON$ ignore the fiscal year when they blame Bush's debt on Obama. As CON$ have been blaming the trillion dollar debt of his last fiscal year that ended Sept 30 2009 on Obama, not Bush. Suddenly with Obama, his fiscal year began 2 months BEFORE Obama's election according to CON$. Bush's last fiscal budget is Obama's debt.
Honest people count the economic years from Jan 1 to Dec 31 because it involves only one administration. CON$ rationalize what ever starting point for a year that suits their perverted purposes.

RUSH: To say that Obama has been in office only one month is not accurate from an effect on the world and an effect on the country standpoint. Barack Obama has been the controlling political authority on the economy for six months.
