You must look at the percentage of growth in the national debt. Then you will see that G.H.W. Bush was the worst by FAR in exploding the debt.
There's just no argument on this score. matter of fact make two timelines. One listing the national debt. The other showing which party had the presidency and control of Congress. You Repug. leaning folks might find it a bit surprising!
I beg to differ, there is a very valid case to argue. In the first place, Was I talking about percentage? I am talking dollars. And even if I was talking percentage, you are wrong. F.D.R, Woodrow Wilson, George W, Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama grew the debt by percentage more than George H Bush did.
During the Obama administration the debt rose more in terms of dollars than at anytime of any other President. Go ahead and sugar coat it anyway you want. When he took office your share of the debt was around $32,000. When he left, it more than doubled.
