According to this graph, the debt has went down precipitously since
WWII under every administration, except Ronald Reagan, who
aggressively increased it. Reagan increased the debt a *lot*, in
both, absolute and relative terms.
I was under the impression that Bush II out-did Reagan, but I see that
Bush II did *not* outdo Reagan. I also didn't realize that Bush I
engaged in deficit spending.
What is your opinion of this data regarding Bush II's deficit spending
data? I'm under the impression that some of the debt/deficit was
*HIDDEN*, and that the Republicans did not factor in the money for the
War. Does this data look accurate to you?
