LOL! Here are those statistics (for the modern American Presidents) that you have been apparently having trouble finding: Message 25985011 And, FYI for those who are short on reading time, just the most recent Presidents: Changes in the National Debt, as a yearly percentage of GDP, sorted from best-to-worst: D:Clinton -0.76 (reduced the debt) D:Carter -0.70 (reduced the debt) R:Ford 0.20 (no change) R:Bush II 0.90 (increased the debt) R:Reagan 2.31 (increased the debt) R:Bush I 3.05 (increased the debt) (And, adding in the other Presidents that you asked about, Truman and LBJ and such, it seems that you were quite INCORRECT): Data on National Debt by President Office Years %GDP per Year D:Clinton 2000 8 58.00 -0.76 R:Bush I 1992 4 64.10 3.05 R:Reagan 1988 8 51.90 2.31 D:Carter 1980 4 33.40 -0.70 R:Ford 1976 3 36.20 0.20 R:Nixon 1973 5 35.60 -1.38 D:Johnson 1968 5 42.50 -1.86 D:Kennedy 1963 3 51.80 -1.40 R:Eisenhower 1960 8 56.00 -2.29 D:Truman 1952 74.30
