It shows very close to the same result (peak around 1990 and slight decline ever since), and its also a bit dicey to use straight nominal GDP without pulling out the hedonic adjustments.

edit/add:
Average monthly debt growth
1980s 11.5%
1990s 7.2%
2000s 8.5%

Not only a soaring national debt but state and local municipalaties are also strapped these days. Unlike the fed they can't borrow. Nice story in USA Today on that in today's edition. Most states looking at sales tax increases while also attempting to role back RE taxes even though it is regressive and hurts the poor the most and can least afford it..
