I'm with no party, and that data is straight from the Treasury via FRED. I don't care what the reasons are why which President had how much debt growth during his term, it's just straight facts.

Make of them what you all will.

Would be interesting to see corresponding military spending.. plus constraints on the president... like Obama has with congress.. Again your system unlike ours gives the top guy less power... which also has its drawbacks.. Many say that's good.. but not looking too good now.. OTOH I still think any kind of democracy (with getting into the I think fruitless, republic democracy debate) simply does not scale well..
