The numbers below do NOT reflect the actual National Debt. Instead, they reflect the amount of the INCREASE in the National Debt during each presidential term.
> Ronald Reagans First Term $656 billion increase
> Ronald Reagans Second Term $1.036 trillion increase
> George H.W. Bushs Term $1.587 trillion increase
> Bill Clintons First Term $1.122 trillion increase
> Bill Clintons Second Term $418 billion increase
> George W. Bushs First Term $1.885 trillion increase
> George W. Bushs Second Term $3.014 trillion increase
> Barack Obamas First Year $1.573 trillion increase
To summarize, the National Debt increased by huge amounts under each of these presidents. The largest increase for a complete term occured during George W. Bushs second term. The largest increse during a single year occurred during Barack Obamas first year.
Current Obama administration projections indicate that the National Debt will increase by approximately $6.5 trillion during President Obamas first term. If that happens, then he will obviously overtake President Bushs record increase in the National Debt.
It is clear that the National Debt has been growing uncontrollably in recent years, regardless of which political party has been in power. To reverse this trend, we need to hold our elected officials accountable and demand that they balance the budget and reduce the National Debt.

" The largest increse during a single year occurred during Barack Obamas first year."
That would be the FY2009 budget, passed in 2008 when bush* was in office
Obama 1st budget is FY2010, which has a deficit lower than FY2009
Instead of playing games with #'s (and lying about who is responsible for the FY2009 budget), the following graph makes clear who is responsible for the national debt
Hers the problem s0n..........its 2010. This is a political forum..........everybody and their brother knows who's jacked the debt through the roof.
Proof?
Head on over to the RealClear homepage and check the election results
Wingnuts think the majority is always right. Like when the majority supported slavery.
