"as measured as a percentage of GDP"

No, it's not.

You forget that in the second Reagan term they introduced the 'unified budget' as a method for disquising the true size of the federal deficit.

Under GAAP rules (no smoke and mirrors) our current true deficit is over 6% of GNP now... pushing onwards to 6.5%.
