As a percentage of the GNP, he has run up the debt as a percentage of the GNP to as high a humber as we have seen since Bush the First was in office, and almost as high as when Eisenhower took office and we were still paying off WWII. Nice try, Chuck. But Debt as a percentage of GDP peaked in 1995 and 1996, when it was 67.2 and 67.3% respectively. My example was very accurate, as it was comparing the debt each president inherited from the previous administration with the debt the president left behind when his term was done. When Clinton took office, the debt to GNP curve was going darn nearly straight up. Yes, it took him a couple of years to get it turned around but when he left office the debt as a percentage of GNP was, indeed, *lower* than the debt he inherited from Bush the First. You may not like that fact, but it is a fact none the less. It was over 70% when Eisenhower was in office...and never topped 65% until 1994 when Clinton was in office. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget...6/pdf/hist.pdf (see Table 7.1...which is on page 119) |

It still shows, the debt grew more under Reagan and the two Bushs, than other Presidents, Republican or Democrat. And, it still shows the downward dip under Clinton. |

Any rational individual would think you really don't have a "bozo bin", but really just want to talk about your "bozo bin". [Yawn] He doesnt have a kill file. He has been caught many times responding to people he has claimed to put in his "bozo bin"...me included. By the way, what position did you play when you were on U of Kansas's "Rugby Team".

You probably quit because you realized that I would point out we have a Republican congress now, and have had during the entire BUSH II administration, while our national debt has climbed from the mid- 5 Trillion range to a couple of bucks below 8 Trillion. Apparently, the Republican congress argument doesn't hold water. I will grant you this: having the congressional majority and the POTUS from different parties does tend to create some "gridlock" in government. For fans of smaller government and restrained government spending (that would include little liberal ol' me)a smaller, less invasive government restraining spending and operating within fiscal reality would be preferable to the mess we have now. In a perfect society, the POTUS and the congressional majority would never be of the same party- just another one of the "checks and balances". |
