Even the Koch Brother's Heritage Foundation says it is down to just $642 but they're off by ~$50-$80 billion according to actual no partisan sources. It's pretty safe to say it will be ~$580 billion for FY 2013. The people claiming we still have a $1 trillion deficit, as we had during the recent Republican recession which started under Bush, they are not using current data nor are they even being honest.

The OP clearly stated debt, not deficit....as does the link he provided.

I gave the actual report for this month of real 2012 numbers.
Your article is two months old and is regarding projections 2013 forward.
From the CBO report linked in your reference link...
If the current laws that govern federal taxes and spending do not change, the budget deficit will shrink this year to $642 billion, CBO estimates, the smallest shortfall since 2008.
Tell the OP he/she is intermingling the two please.
THREAD TITLE: Deficits: Over $1 trillion the last four years per CBO table
I don't know what the OP was thinking when he wrote this, do you? However, the link he provided clearly states debt not deficit.........
Tell the OP to change his thread title...
