what was our population under McKinley and now ?? Think that MIGHT have had some affect?under reagan didn't our debt triple and under gwb ,double ? where were all repub deficit hawks then? Fiscal conservatives ??? BAH HUMBUG
Obama added 9 trillion to the debt. How many dollars did Reagan and Bush add?
Look at the actual dollars, fool.
The dollar changes in value over time and then there is the added cost of the interest on the debt from the people that came before.
Percent change is the only accurate way to look at it. But I get that doing so tarnishes the image of the saint of all Conservatives, and that will never be allowed by the party zealots.
Ok, do the added debt comparisons adjusted for inflation, interest, etc. Normalize all of them to any base year. No matter how you calculate it, Obama added more to our debt than any other president in history.
So, lets say that McKinley took office with $2000 national debt, it was $4000 when he left, he doubled it, right? Now it was 10 Trillion when Obama took office and 19 trillion when he left. so he did not quite double it. So in your small mind McKinley and Obama equally added to the debt?????? Don't be so stupid, you are embarrassing yourself.
Don’t waste your time, a party zealot can never be allowed to say an ill word about Reagan

Reagan screwed up a lot of things, Bush did too. Unlike you, I am an American first, not a partisan puppet like most of you on the left.
