You’re right that it’s probably misleading to use percent increase, as 10% of a trillion is in absolute terms greater than 100% of a billion. However, it still shows a disregard for fiscal responsibility. Here are more precise figures if you’d like to do some research for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_by_U.S._presidential_terms
But we have to take into mind that in the 80s the countries revenue is much less than what it is today. Also the number of banking sectors are more than earlier.
These numbers are not correct. Please stop spreading things like this as it diminishes the veracity of our claims when presenting them on a national stage. There are accurate figures that help prove our point, so we should be focused on finding and using them, rather than spreading inaccurate statistics that will only make us seem dumb.
This is misleading at best. There is absolutely no need to use faulty data to prove the point that so-called fiscal conservatives are anything but. All you’re doing is giving people who agree with them a means to argue against your principles. Absolutely stupid. No better than Faux News.
How do you figure?
Nancy Pelosi had this on her website for a while… lol the numbers are not true and do not count for inflation.. do some research.
