Craig,

You are not including the 1993 deficit in your calculation, which was Bush's last budget. Chalk up an extra $290 billion for Reagan/Bush. Your $220 billion interest number is much too low. All of the debt accumulated under Clinton is directly attributable to interest payments on Reagan/Bush debt. i.e. Clinton would have run a net surplus if he wasn't straddled with $4.5 trillion in debt at the time his first budget took effect.

How can people of intelligence and good conscience not be critical of the tremendous fiscal mismanagement by Ronald Reagan?
