FACT of the 13.7 trilion dollar debt Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 are responsible for half of it.
Before Reagan took office the total debt was 3 trillion after he left it was 7 trillion. That's a 133% increase durring his term. By comparison under Clinton during his 8 years the debt only increased by 2 trillion or 26% If you adjust for inflation that 4 trillion Reagan ran up equals about 8 trillion today. No way Obama increases the debt by 133% which would be 16 trillion or even the 8 trillion inflation adjusted debt Reagan ran up.
