Re: "And not counting Ford" I'm perfectly happy to count President Ford! (As a matter of fact, I specifically listed his administrations deficit numbers in with all the others!) He also like President Carter produced only a very tiny deficit (despite the bad economic times he served in, just as Carter had a very difficult economic environment to serve in). I believe (if memory serves) that Carter had an ever-so-slightly-better result on the deficit then Ford, but my memory could be wrong about that point and, IN ANY EVENT... both Ford and Carter had absolutely STERLING results when compared to the Tsunami of federal debt and borrowing that precipitated under Reagan, Bush, and Bush II.
