"Since 1946 the Democratic Presidents increased the national debt an average of only 3.7% per year when they were in office. The Republican Presidents stay at an average increase of 9.3% per year. Over the last 59 years Republican Presidents have out borrowed Democratic Presidents by almost a three to one ratio. That is, for every dollar a Democratic President has raised the national debt in the past 59 years Republican Presidents have raised the debt by $2.87."
From data gleaned from Encarta.
I cannot find the chart comparing annual deficits to each administration. I came across it a couple of weeks ago and was stunned. I did however find this which compares Clinton (OMG CLINTON!) to Bush. I don't want to get in an argument about Clinton. My main point is that Bush/Republican congress have not done a damn thing a real conservative would. If they had, I'd vote for them in a heartbeat. At least the democrats tell you they're going to waste your money.
