And it was labeled accurately! - including that GHW Bush only served four years. Any chart that compares two-term presidents with one-termers isn't meant to be proportional. Sorry you felt misled; next times I'll provide closed captions for the cognitively challenged.

And Reagan just about DOUBLED the debt of ALL previous presidents. Like you said, just to put it into perspective.


Reagan followed possibly the worst President in our time, Carter! Interest rates where around 17-18% during Carter's time in office. Can YOU even imagine expanding a business or building a home with rates like what we had at that time?

Hmm, . . . forkushV really isn't very good with numbers.

If President Ronald Wilson Reagan increased the National Debt by 189%, he nearly tripled the debt.

The Obama is on track to more than double it. He'll be in second place all-time.

Regardless of the numbers, it's also important what those debts "buy". Sometimes such things determine whether a Presidency is a success or a failure.

Yes, Obama's debt will rise dramatically...and the overwhelming majority of it comes from policy that our resident conservatives fullheartedly endorsed when it was passed: The Iraq War and The Bush Tax Cuts. And nobody cried louder than our resident conservatives when liberals tried to back out either of those policies.

I generally make a rule to either embrace or reject policy. It takes alot of balls and a distinct lack of integrity to try and do both at the same time.

In all fairness, Obama wasn't really handed a robust economy either.
