we've got a graph showing the United States is national debt. Now, unfortunately, I'm unable to paste this graph under my white board, but we can still talk about it. The way this craft works is if a bar is above the axis. It is positive that is, we have a budget surplus. Whereas if it is below the axis, there is a deficit. That is, we are in debt. There is negative. So for how many years was there a surplus? Well, we just have to count the number of bars which are above the axis like this one. And the answer that is four years with a surplus. Now let's talk about the deficit. There are many more years with a deficit. So how many of those years had a deficit of less than $300 billion? Well, for this we just have to look at the scale. So the scale goes by billions of dollars. And any bar which does not reach down to the 300 billion line like this green one I've drawn here means a deficit of less than $300 billion. Where is the bar like this blue one that goes below the line means more than $300 billion. So if you count all those up there a total of 21 years where there was less than $300 billion of deficit, but there was also no surplus.
