Right, Clinton's debt would have been greater had he been the President during the past < 5 years. Spending in Washington is out of control, and we have had calamaties which have also increased spending which must be factored into the comparison. Nice partisan article... Republicans, who also control the White House, have now presided over an increase in $2 trillion to the national debt over four years or so, despite contending that they are the only U.S. political party that practices fiscal discipline. Eight years of Democrat Bill Clinton's presidency resulted in around $1.6 trillion being added to the U.S. debt, but with the possibility of paying it all off by 2015.
