Idiot, you're measuring the debt in inflationary fiat theft money. You may as well be measuring it in unicorn farts since they have roughly the same value. To get a more precise idea of the national debt you need to measure it in units of something with INTRINSIC VALUE , as only rhodium does. Once you do this you will see that Clinton reduced the debt to a tiny fraction of its 1997 high.
