good graphic.

reagan was a fraud, just like everyone after him - BOTH parties. you can see the debt trajectory increase in 1997 - right in line with the first of the bubbles.

Elroy, did that graphic come from an online article?

If you carried the right side out to 2010 we probably had 2.5% a year GDP growth for last 30 years--1% below prior 3.5% a year.If the Fed did not understand what was going on they should have kept credit/GDP below 150% and we would probably had a GDP 20-30% higher today.Within a week after looking like we won in Iraq we ran a completely incompetent campaign and lost 1000s of lives as no one could read the history of Alexander the Great.Now we have a President and Fed who get there economics from Time magazine.This country is run by incompetent people

You would need to consider interest rates and inflation in that graph, otherwise one might draw simple, but incorrect conclusions. Debt by itself is not a problem. The cost of debt can be.
