They’re saying that at the beginning of the third quarter, the total national debt will be lower than it was at the end of the second quarter. Or something like that. How do you run a trillion dollar deficit and make that claim?

You use the same math method, accountant, calculator and computer program that enabled unemployment to shrink to 7.7%.

Considering that true unemployment is probably somewhere in at least the 20% range, I’m not sure we want to know the real national debt.
