2. Is your 1999 budget figure inflation-adjusted? If not, why not, other than to mislead people?

How is this "misleading people"? The claim was that you could go back to 199X spending levels, not spending levels adjusted for the gigantic amount of money the Federal goverment has printed.

You cant make the assumption that the government are able to get the same services they paid 1T for 10 years ago for 1T today, so of course you have to adjust for inflation, no matter what you think of the monetary system.
For some reason people wont sell you stuff for the same price they sold it for 10 years ago...
