Interesting way to depict the national debt...leaving out the embarassing terms...


Reagan definitely kicked off the national debt hockey stick...

inode, I think those numbers support my conclusions.

The National Debt went up about $500 Billion between 1972 and 1980.

THEN, when Reagan came in it went up about $2700 Billion between 1980 and 1988.
I think that's a significant jump.

Right there it kinda tells you who STARTED this deficit spiral.
