Re: GDP minus debt (none / 0)

I think that the top is given in dollars, and the bottom in percent, so that one in dollars appears flatter.

Re: GDP minus debt (none / 0)

No, I don't mean that. I mean the line for growth minus borrowing, which on one graph goes clearly into minus in the Bush era, on the other just passes under it.

Re: GDP minus debt (none / 0)

The top one deducts all of net new debt from GDP volume; the bottom one deducts 60% of the percentage of growth of debt from the percentage of growth of GDP.
