Starting the week with another fact-challenged statement:

AS: George H.W. Bush "paid down debts instead of driving up deficits" (and therefore according to AS was a better President than his son).

Message 19437977

The actual facts:

Bush's debt increases worked out to between $350 and $400 Billion in 1989-1993 (roughly the equivqlent of $550 and $600 Billion in today's dollars).
