CARTER GREW THE ECONOMY MUCH BETTER THAN REAGAN

BUT THERE IS MORE!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of ... ublic_debt
Reagan grew the debt by ALMOST 7 TIMES what Carter grew it by.
Carter added 288 billions to the national debt - which actually REDUCED the debt as a portion of the GDP (due to how much it grew by under his hand, with a democrat congress).
Reagan added 1.873 TRILLIONS to the national debt, which GREW our national debt, as a function of GDP, for the first time since WW!! - TRIPLED THE NATIONAL DEBT as measured in dollars (does not account for inflation), and grew it by a whopping 23.5% as a function of GDP (ACCOUNTS FOR INFLATION)!
In summary, Reagan oversaw a stagnant economy (at least, as measured against Jimmy Carter's or Bill Clinton's), AND he added to our national debt.
The conservatives in the mainstream media and on this board can spin and spin, but they cannot make these numbers go away.

When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice
"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"
You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.
Who cuts off your dick is not a friend
An opinion you won't defend is not your own
Humanity's Law of the Jungle: Survival NOT of the fittest, but of the tribe
When peeing in the pool, stand on the edge
If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
