[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Although Reagan didn't go out and fight on a horse or something he did contribute a lot to the downfall of the soviet union. Either way he should be credited.[/quote]

Interesting word, credited.

You, your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren will still be saddled with the debt that Reagan left them while he tried to outspend the Soviets into oblivion.[/quote]

Ha.
You wanna talk about debt???
Let’s discuss Obama’s contribution to the national debt.........[/quote]

Give me a break.  You need to learn how to look at historical data and apply some deductive reasoning.  You also need to understand the power of the presidency vs. the Congress, who approves the national budget.  The debt has been rising steadily since it first topped $1T in 1982.  Here is the breakdown in terms of percent increase for our past five presidents.

Reagan - $908B to $2.6T - 186% increase over term in office
Bush 1 - $2.6T to $4.1T - 58% increase over term in office
Clinton - $4.1T to $5.7T - 39% increase over term in office
Bush 2 - $5.7T to $10T - 113% increase over term in office
Obama - $10T to $17.8T - 78% increase over term in office

What do you notice?  First, Reagan indeed presided over the largest percent increase in the national debt of the whole group.
