I didn't say he cut government (unless you mean the air traffic controllers)! I would think he increased the size of government because of his military build up.

As to the increase -it was a percentage "increase". By saying he increased "debt more than any other" - you again are being dishonest. Increase as a percentage - yes.

Debt increase;

Reagan 1st term; 823 billion (not much to right a broken economy)
Reagan 2nd term 1.050 Trillion (I said he stayed a term too long!)

Clinton 1st term 1.018 Trillion
Clinton 2nd term 400 billion (why Clinton was doing a good job - but with a republican congress)

Bush 1st term 2.135 Trillion
Bush 2nd term 3.971Trillion (one reason he is worst President ever)

Obama 1st term 6.061 Trillion. (Yikes)
