There is certainly a connection. If we can get the deficit small enough, the national debt will begin to shrink. But that article said the deficit is not going down.

Also, even if the deficit were going down, a small improvement in our deficit doesn't mean our debt is going down at all.
This is EXACTLY what the anti-Reagan liberals were screaming 20 years ago. And guess what? The strength of the economy caught up, and actually did what the liberals in the 80s said COULD NOT BE DONE!

You CANNOT tax an economy into prosperity.
