Regardless of what has been reported by the MSM, the facts are the facts and that is that the National Debt has NEVER been reduced during any of the the last 40 years, much less ANY of Clinton's years. So, saying you're ignorant on this isn't calling you a name, it's simply stating fact. That you didn't educate yourself before posting a response further confirms my description.
Since you didn't "spew some facts and figures" to back up your claim, let me provide you with some. As you can see, the Clinton claim cited in the article you post is not true. Here you go:
