What I find interesting is that every democrotic president left office with that % lower than when they started... The Regan/Bush presidents all left office having increased that % by huge numbers. Those guys really fucked things up.

Yeah the good old days of Carter. Man I wish we could see 22% interest rates again. Those times were fun.
Bush was a huge progressive, Obama has now jumped debt/gdp to close to 98%. We should be close to, if not over 100% by 2012.
Ton of factors go into these charts.
