I pointed out that we had, in fact, paid it off in full in December 2006. What's not to understand?

Its yourself thats dumbing down. the fact is the nation has built up its current debts over decades. the fact the debt was finally paid after 61 years illustrates how difficult and how long it took to pay it off. sadly we paid it off with more borrowed money. This is all part of the financial quagmire we now find ourselves in today.
