And Burger doesn't have it quite right, but I do have confidence that if he looked at the data he'd get it right.

But, OK, since you are knowledgable on 19th century economic history, let's start with an easy one. Any idea what the change to the country's debt level was from the time of the Revolution through 1830, or why?
We both have access to Google. Demostrate to me that that our government ran a deficit through most of the ninteenth century. Prove to me that something I have accepted as conventional wisdom since Junior High School is wrong.
