It did, but not in the way this guy thinks it should have.
I'm "the guy." I just happen to be a user here, too.
By law the money needed to go to pay down our public debt first, which is real debt despite this guys claims.
If you read my article you'll find I didn't contradict that. I didn't say the public debt didn't go down, but every single year the intergovernmental debt went up more. If the public debt had gone down more than the intergovernmental debt had gone up, that'd have been something. Unfortunately it wasn't the case.
