[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1467202, member: 2189"] Eisenhower was the last President to see a measurable decline in the national debt in real dollars. And it wasn't a staggering amount either. JFK, LBJ, Nixon saw a rather flatline in the debt while Carter began to scale upwards. Under Reagan it doubled and continued an upward course until the latter part of Clinton's term when it nosed over and started to flatline. With Bush 2 it began to scaled up and continues (even now) it's current doubling every Presidency. Seems to me blaming one over the other misses the real point and culprit but that's another thread. That said, based on what over the last 50 plus years do we rely on as evidence that a new President will do anything of much difference? [/QUOTE]
