In Jan 2000, the CBO projected the possible elimination of the Debt held by the Public within a decade.
It was 3.7 trillion at the time.
In Jan 2008, the CBO projected an aggregate Structural Deficit going out a decade in the amount of 5.8 trillion.
The Debt held by the Public had not been eliminated...it had nearly doubled.
