The idea that you call Treasury data bogus is quite telling about just how little credibility you have.
I appreciate what an impossible situation you've placed yourself in, using Treasury data but using it with deliberate attempt to deceive. This has been a rightwing deception for some time. I'm surprised that you're still using these false starting dates to determine which president is responsible for what deficits but maybe you're not keeping up with your sides misinformation techniques as well as you should. I'll lay it out for you more precisely so you can see how I picked up your misinformation so easily (as well as to explain to others who may be seeing this exchange for the first time). Fiscal years run from Oct. 1 to Sep. 30 so, e.g., FY 2015 (which were in now) began on Oct. 1, 2014. Jan. 20 is not the start of any fiscal year and never has been. So by, e.g., by using the Treasury Debt-to-the-penny tables with that as the date for the debt amount is wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. GWBush's last FY ended on Sep. 30, 2009 so the debt on that date belongs to him not to President Obama. So, again, I'm not calling you a liar but certainly are passing along well-established rightwing lies about this subject (and others, no doubt). I'd say you're more of a dupe of the rightwing pukefunnel of lies that you feed on constantly. You can keep throwing up your strawman evasions for as long as you draw breath. I will come right back and call you on them every time. I actually enjoy slamming this falsehood down so I can keep doing it as long as you keep pushing it.
