<<<<<Debt as a percentage of GDP has skyrocketed!>>>>> Great, lets look at your chart. Debt climbs and CLIMB under reagan and the first Bush - deny it, I dare you! And then the debt under the Clinton years declines - deny it, I dare you! And then after first leveling off under Bush (and please keep in mind the screaming housing bubble) it turns towards the heavens again. Deny that, I dare you! Now remembering the mess Obama inherited and remembering you can't turn an economy on or off on a dime, that impact from Obama may be say 75% range to 87% in 2021. Heck that's in another 9 years for gawds sake! ........NOW that's NOT good I will admit, but it is dealing with the past inherited mess that put us to where we are today. For the sake of honesty - look at the numbers you have posted!!!!!
