Debt growth by President

[Toro]

If anyone feels they can provide more reliable numbers than the source I'm using I'm happy to adjust what I'm posting here. I'm merely pointing out cold hard facts here boys and girls.

For the purposes of this thread Presidential terms are defined as the year in which said President assumed office. Thus, Obama's term is credited with the numbers starting in 2009. GWB's term is credited with the numbers beginning in 2001, etc. Years of Vice Presidential successions are attributed to the individual who was in office for the greater part of the year. Thus, 1963 is credited as Kennedy's last year and 1964 as Johnson's first year. The "change percent" is the percent of the starting debt that the additional debt represents. The "contribution percent" is the percentage of the total ending debt the total change represents.

I looked at it in 2009 dollars. All data comes from here.

Here's what the total federal public debt and percent increase looks like if the President is responsible for the fiscal year in which he is elected, i.e. Obama is responsible for all of fiscal year 2009 budget even though the fiscal year started on October 1 2008, before he was elected.

Hoover --> $80B, 45%
FDR --> $1.78T, 688%
Truman --> -$304B, -15%
Kennedy/LBJ --> -$68B, -4%
Nixon/Ford --> $114B, 6%
Carter --> $320B, 17%
Reagan --> $2.14T, 105%
Bush I --> $1.75T, 42%
Clinton --> $1.21T, 21%
Bush II --> $3.19T, 46%
Obama --> $6.47T, 64%
Obama (projected to 2016) --> $7.41T, 74%

Here's what it looks like if you average the fiscal year budgets for the calendar year in which the President is elected, i.e. Obama was inaugurated on January 20 2009, so we allocate half the increase in debt in fiscal year 2009 to Obama.

Hoover --> $108B, 62%
FDR --> $2.00T, 708%
Truman --> -$538B, -24%
Kennedy/LBJ --> -$83B, -5%
Nixon/Ford --> $217B, 12%
Carter --> $93B, 5%
Reagan --> $2.27T, 111%
Bush I --> $1.52T, 35%
Clinton --> $1.04T, 18%
Bush II --> $4.09T, 59%
Obama --> $6.10T, 56%
Obama (projected to 2016/17) --> $6.66T, 61%

By the time he leaves office, the growth of debt under Obama will be the second highest since WWII. However, debt built up faster under Reagan than it did under Obama.

Somehow, someway, they have convinced their unreal useless morons on the left that Obama decreased the debt. They even post that he decreased it.

Hell, they are so stupid that they cannot see that the economy took the real nose dive after Pelosi and the democrats took over the government in 2007. You all see what the economy did after they took over power in 2007? Buuuuuuut, they are convinced it was ALL Booooooooooosh's fault.

Hell they still blame him for lying about WMDs, regardless of the fact that democrats propagated the existence of WMDs long before Boooooooosh took office. Hell, they do not know or care that Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act for WMDs, and Booooooooosh enforced Clinton's policies.

Hell, they are so fucking hypocritical and moronic they still do not know or care Clinton awarded at least 4 no bid contracts to Halliburton. Of course the perpetually ignorant buffoons on the left, they do not know or care that that is the only American company that does the type of work they do. Liberals, are so fucking stupid, so fucking hypocritical, and such pieces of double talking shit, there is no need to tell them any of these things.

They are so fucking stupid, they still push man made global warming. Do we know how fucking stupid one would need to be to actually believe in that, let alone still pushing the bullshit notion, all while thinking that those who do not believe in it are morons.

Now, I had to read that it is republicans that do not know anything about the economy. Yes folks, they actually think Obama has reduced the debt.

Holy shit. Give one reason why any liberal should ever be treated with any respect. Has anyone seen any of them ever be on the correct side of any issue?

You're too stupid to realize that Pelosi and the Democrats had nothing to do with it.

Since Obama Took Office, the Federal Debt Has Increased by Almost 70 Percent
Michael Sargent / December 03, 2014 / 81 comments

The federal government hit a new milestone Friday: The total federal debt now tallies more than $18 trillion.

Just six years ago when President Obama took office, total debt stood at $10.6 trillion, which means it now has increased by almost $8 trillion—roughly 70 percent—during his tenure as president.

Since Obama Took Office the Federal Debt Has Increased by Almost 70 Percent

In the course of Reagan's two terms the gross debt nearly tripled....within a few years of his departure, his fiscal legacy had generated a 4 bagger....

Obama's deficits are bigger than Reagan's entire budget!
Reagan's time is remembered rightly as a time of great prosperity and growth.
Obama's time is remembered as a time of stagnation and decay.

Reagan had a 16 month recession in his first term that started 6 months AFTER he took office.

Hi canada. Why don't you tell us what Reagan spent on as compared to what Obama does. Not relevant, eh canada?

You even know what the cold war was, or do you think that was all another American myth? You have any idea what the arms race was? Tell us all about it canada.

You have any clue about the space race and what was spent on that?

You fucking liberals. I am here to remind you of the epic failure of the left wing dream. The destruction of the USSR and Marxism not even lasting one hundred year. NOT EVEN ONE HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS.

Yes, canada. Stats are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, what they conceal is vital. I will be waiting for to tell me about the arms race, and I will be waiting for the hippies to tell us how unnecessary a strong military or mass military spending was during the 80s.

The point is, canadian socialist, canada really benefits from our Monroe doctrine even today. I think we ought to force canada to contribute to our military.

Then again, canada does have the canadian snowbirds.

The "canadian airforce."

Debt grew by $2.27 trillion under Reagan. Defense spending in constant dollars was $378 billion in 1979. By the end of 1988, it had risen to $532 billion. Accumulated increased defense spending under Reagan was $867 billion, accounting for 38% of the total debt build-up under Reagan.

Had defense spending been held constant, accumulated debt under Reagan would have risen by $1.41 trillion or 68%, still the highest since WWII.

Hope that helps.

Debt grew by $2.27 trillion under Reagan. Defense spending in constant dollars was $378 billion in 1979. By the end of 1988, it had risen to $532 billion. Accumulated increased defense spending under Reagan was $867 billion, accounting for 38% of the total debt build-up under Reagan.

Had defense spending been held constant, accumulated debt under Reagan would have risen by $1.41 trillion or 68%, still the highest since WWII.

Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for Reagan and winning the nuclear arms race against the epic failure known as marxism as practiced by the USSR, much to the eternal dismay of the pathetic hippies on the left.

If anyone feels they can provide more reliable numbers than the source I'm using I'm happy to adjust what I'm posting here. I'm merely pointing out cold hard facts here boys and girls.

For the purposes of this thread Presidential terms are defined as the year in which said President assumed office. Thus, Obama's term is credited with the numbers starting in 2009. GWB's term is credited with the numbers beginning in 2001, etc. Years of Vice Presidential successions are attributed to the individual who was in office for the greater part of the year. Thus, 1963 is credited as Kennedy's last year and 1964 as Johnson's first year. The "change percent" is the percent of the starting debt that the additional debt represents. The "contribution percent" is the percentage of the total ending debt the total change represents.


Obama
Debt 2009 = $11.9 trillion
Debt 2014 = $18.0 trillion

Change dollars = $6.1 trillion
Change percent = 51.2%
Change contribution = 33.9%


George W. Bush
Debt 2008 = $10.0 trillion
Debt 2001 = $5.8 trillion

Change dollars = $4.2 trillion
Change percent = 72.4%
Change contribution = 42.0%


Bill Clinton
Debt 1993 = $4.4 trillion
Debt 2000 = $5.7 trillion

Change dollars = $1.3 trillion
Change percent = 29.5%
Change contribution = 22.8%


George Bush
Debt 1989 = $2.9 trillion
Debt 1992 = $4.1 trillion

Change dollars = $1.2 trillion
Change percent = 41.2%
Change contribution = 29.3%


Ronald Reagan
Debt 1981 = $1.0 trillion
Debt 1988 = $2.6 trillion

Change dollars = $1.6 trillion
Change percent = 160.0%
Change contribution = 61.5%


Jimmy Carter
Debt 1977 = $700 billion
Debt 1980 = $900 billion

Change dollars = $200 billion
Change percent = 28.6%
Change contribution = 22.2%


Gerald Ford
Debt 1975 = $500 billion
Debt 1976 = $600 billion

Change dollars = $100 billion
Change percent = 20.0%
Change contribution = 16.7%


Richard Nixon
Debt 1969 = $354 billion
Debt 1974 = $475 billion

Change dollars = $121 billion
Change percent = 34.2%
Change contribution = 25.5%


Lyndon Johnson
Debt 1964 = $312 billion
Debt 1968 = $348 billion

Change dollars = $36 billion
Change percent = 11.5%
Change contribution = 10.3%


John F Kennedy
Debt 1961 = $306 billion
Debt 1963 = $289 billion

Change dollars = $17 billion
Change percent = 5.9%
Change contribution = 5.6%


Dwight D. Eisenhower
Debt 1953 = $266 billion
Debt 1960 = $286 billion

Change dollars = $20 billion
Change percent = 7.5%
Change contribution = 7.0%


Harry S. Truman
Debt 1945 = $259 billion
Debt 1952 = $259 billion

Change dollars = $0
Change percent = 0%
Change contribution = 0%


Franklin Roosevelt
Debt 1933 = $23 billion
Debt 1944 = $201 billion

Change dollars = $178 billion
Change percent = 773.9%
Change contribution = 88.6%


Herbert Hoover
Debt 1932 = $19 billion
Debt 1929 = $17 billion

Change dollars = $2 billion
Change percent = 11.8%
Change contribution = 10.5%

I looked at it in 2009 dollars. All data comes from here.

Here's what the total federal public debt and percent increase looks like if the President is responsible for the fiscal year in which he is elected, i.e. Obama is responsible for all of fiscal year 2009 budget even though the fiscal year started on October 1 2008, before he was elected.

Hoover --> $80B, 45%
FDR --> $1.78T, 688%
Truman --> -$304B, -15%
Kennedy/LBJ --> -$68B, -4%
Nixon/Ford --> $114B, 6%
Carter --> $320B, 17%
Reagan --> $2.14T, 105%
Bush I --> $1.75T, 42%
Clinton --> $1.21T, 21%
Bush II --> $3.19T, 46%
Obama --> $6.47T, 64%
Obama (projected to 2016) --> $7.41T, 74%

Here's what it looks like if you average the fiscal year budgets for the calendar year in which the President is elected, i.e. Obama was inaugurated on January 20 2009, so we allocate half the increase in debt in fiscal year 2009 to Obama.

Hoover --> $108B, 62%
FDR --> $2.00T, 708%
Truman --> -$538B, -24%
Kennedy/LBJ --> -$83B, -5%
Nixon/Ford --> $217B, 12%
Carter --> $93B, 5%
Reagan --> $2.27T, 111%
Bush I --> $1.52T, 35%
Clinton --> $1.04T, 18%
Bush II --> $4.09T, 59%
Obama --> $6.10T, 56%
Obama (projected to 2016/17) --> $6.66T, 61%

By the time he leaves office, the growth of debt under Obama will be the second highest since WWII. However, debt built up faster under Reagan than it did under Obama.

Yes, canada. Stats are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, what they conceal is vital. I will be waiting for to tell me about the arms race, and I will be waiting for the hippies to tell us how unnecessary a strong military or mass military spending was during the 80s.

Hope that helps.

Don't forget that Reagan also cut taxes while escalating the cost of the Cold War, which is fiscal insanity.

 

[IcebergSlim]

That chart is old. The average deficit under Obama has been 6.1%.

Annual Federal Deficit United States 1900-2016 - Federal State Local Data

people who cannot define "structural deficit" shouldn't be allowed to vote, never mind opine on this topic....

 

[IcebergSlim]

Somehow, someway, they have convinced their unreal useless morons on the left that Obama decreased the debt. They even post that he decreased it.

Hell, they are so stupid that they cannot see that the economy took the real nose dive after Pelosi and the democrats took over the government in 2007. You all see what the economy did after they took over power in 2007? Buuuuuuut, they are convinced it was ALL Booooooooooosh's fault.

Hell they still blame him for lying about WMDs, regardless of the fact that democrats propagated the existence of WMDs long before Boooooooosh took office. Hell, they do not know or care that Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act for WMDs, and Booooooooosh enforced Clinton's policies.

Hell, they are so fucking hypocritical and moronic they still do not know or care Clinton awarded at least 4 no bid contracts to Halliburton. Of course the perpetually ignorant buffoons on the left, they do not know or care that that is the only American company that does the type of work they do. Liberals, are so fucking stupid, so fucking hypocritical, and such pieces of double talking shit, there is no need to tell them any of these things.

They are so fucking stupid, they still push man made global warming. Do we know how fucking stupid one would need to be to actually believe in that, let alone still pushing the bullshit notion, all while thinking that those who do not believe in it are morons.

Now, I had to read that it is republicans that do not know anything about the economy. Yes folks, they actually think Obama has reduced the debt.

Holy shit. Give one reason why any liberal should ever be treated with any respect. Has anyone seen any of them ever be on the correct side of any issue?

You illustrate at the very beginning that you cannot distinguish DEBT from DEFICIT....

I am not optimistic that your screed would improve from there, so I abandoned it....

Somehow, someway, they have convinced their unreal useless morons on the left that Obama decreased the debt. They even post that he decreased it.

Hell, they are so stupid that they cannot see that the economy took the real nose dive after Pelosi and the democrats took over the government in 2007. You all see what the economy did after they took over power in 2007? Buuuuuuut, they are convinced it was ALL Booooooooooosh's fault.

Hell they still blame him for lying about WMDs, regardless of the fact that democrats propagated the existence of WMDs long before Boooooooosh took office. Hell, they do not know or care that Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act for WMDs, and Booooooooosh enforced Clinton's policies.

Hell, they are so fucking hypocritical and moronic they still do not know or care Clinton awarded at least 4 no bid contracts to Halliburton. Of course the perpetually ignorant buffoons on the left, they do not know or care that that is the only American company that does the type of work they do. Liberals, are so fucking stupid, so fucking hypocritical, and such pieces of double talking shit, there is no need to tell them any of these things.

They are so fucking stupid, they still push man made global warming. Do we know how fucking stupid one would need to be to actually believe in that, let alone still pushing the bullshit notion, all while thinking that those who do not believe in it are morons.

Now, I had to read that it is republicans that do not know anything about the economy. Yes folks, they actually think Obama has reduced the debt.

Holy shit. Give one reason why any liberal should ever be treated with any respect. Has anyone seen any of them ever be on the correct side of any issue?

You illustrate at the very beginning that you cannot distinguish DEBT from DEFICIT....

I am not optimistic that your screed would improve from there, so I abandoned it....

there is no difference between national debt and federal deficit to most RW's .. as long as they can muster "fucking" several times and bash a Liberal in the same paragraph, they're good.

If anyone feels they can provide more reliable numbers than the source I'm using I'm happy to adjust what I'm posting here. I'm merely pointing out cold hard facts here boys and girls.

For the purposes of this thread Presidential terms are defined as the year in which said President assumed office. Thus, Obama's term is credited with the numbers starting in 2009. GWB's term is credited with the numbers beginning in 2001, etc. Years of Vice Presidential successions are attributed to the individual who was in office for the greater part of the year. Thus, 1963 is credited as Kennedy's last year and 1964 as Johnson's first year. The "change percent" is the percent of the starting debt that the additional debt represents. The "contribution percent" is the percentage of the total ending debt the total change represents.


Obama
Debt 2009 = $11.9 trillion
Debt 2014 = $18.0 trillion

Change dollars = $6.1 trillion
Change percent = 51.2%
Change contribution = 33.9%


George W. Bush
Debt 2008 = $10.0 trillion
Debt 2001 = $5.8 trillion

Change dollars = $4.2 trillion
Change percent = 72.4%
Change contribution = 42.0%


Bill Clinton
Debt 1993 = $4.4 trillion
Debt 2000 = $5.7 trillion

Change dollars = $1.3 trillion
Change percent = 29.5%
Change contribution = 22.8%


George Bush
Debt 1989 = $2.9 trillion
Debt 1992 = $4.1 trillion

Change dollars = $1.2 trillion
Change percent = 41.2%
Change contribution = 29.3%


Ronald Reagan
Debt 1981 = $1.0 trillion
Debt 1988 = $2.6 trillion

Change dollars = $1.6 trillion
Change percent = 160.0%
Change contribution = 61.5%


Jimmy Carter
Debt 1977 = $700 billion
Debt 1980 = $900 billion

Change dollars = $200 billion
Change percent = 28.6%
Change contribution = 22.2%


Gerald Ford
Debt 1975 = $500 billion
Debt 1976 = $600 billion

Change dollars = $100 billion
Change percent = 20.0%
Change contribution = 16.7%


Richard Nixon
Debt 1969 = $354 billion
Debt 1974 = $475 billion

Change dollars = $121 billion
Change percent = 34.2%
Change contribution = 25.5%


Lyndon Johnson
Debt 1964 = $312 billion
Debt 1968 = $348 billion

Change dollars = $36 billion
Change percent = 11.5%
Change contribution = 10.3%


John F Kennedy
Debt 1961 = $306 billion
Debt 1963 = $289 billion

Change dollars = $17 billion
Change percent = 5.9%
Change contribution = 5.6%


Dwight D. Eisenhower
Debt 1953 = $266 billion
Debt 1960 = $286 billion

Change dollars = $20 billion
Change percent = 7.5%
Change contribution = 7.0%


Harry S. Truman
Debt 1945 = $259 billion
Debt 1952 = $259 billion

Change dollars = $0
Change percent = 0%
Change contribution = 0%


Franklin Roosevelt
Debt 1933 = $23 billion
Debt 1944 = $201 billion

Change dollars = $178 billion
Change percent = 773.9%
Change contribution = 88.6%


Herbert Hoover
Debt 1932 = $19 billion
Debt 1929 = $17 billion

Change dollars = $2 billion
Change percent = 11.8%
Change contribution = 10.5%

I looked at it in 2009 dollars. All data comes from here.

Here's what the total federal public debt and percent increase looks like if the President is responsible for the fiscal year in which he is elected, i.e. Obama is responsible for all of fiscal year 2009 budget even though the fiscal year started on October 1 2008, before he was elected.

Hoover --> $80B, 45%
FDR --> $1.78T, 688%
Truman --> -$304B, -15%
Kennedy/LBJ --> -$68B, -4%
Nixon/Ford --> $114B, 6%
Carter --> $320B, 17%
Reagan --> $2.14T, 105%
Bush I --> $1.75T, 42%
Clinton --> $1.21T, 21%
Bush II --> $3.19T, 46%
Obama --> $6.47T, 64%
Obama (projected to 2016) --> $7.41T, 74%

Here's what it looks like if you average the fiscal year budgets for the calendar year in which the President is elected, i.e. Obama was inaugurated on January 20 2009, so we allocate half the increase in debt in fiscal year 2009 to Obama.

Hoover --> $108B, 62%
FDR --> $2.00T, 708%
Truman --> -$538B, -24%
Kennedy/LBJ --> -$83B, -5%
Nixon/Ford --> $217B, 12%
Carter --> $93B, 5%
Reagan --> $2.27T, 111%
Bush I --> $1.52T, 35%
Clinton --> $1.04T, 18%
Bush II --> $4.09T, 59%
Obama --> $6.10T, 56%
Obama (projected to 2016/17) --> $6.66T, 61%

By the time he leaves office, the growth of debt under Obama will be the second highest since WWII. However, debt built up faster under Reagan than it did under Obama.

Hi canada. Why don't you tell us what Reagan spent on as compared to what Obama does. Not relevant, eh canada?

You even know what the cold war was, or do you think that was all another American myth? You have any idea what the arms race was? Tell us all about it canada.

You have any clue about the space race and what was spent on that?

You fucking liberals. I am here to remind you of the epic failure of the left wing dream. The destruction of the USSR and Marxism not even lasting one hundred year. NOT EVEN ONE HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS.

Yes, canada. Stats are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, what they conceal is vital. I will be waiting for to tell me about the arms race, and I will be waiting for the hippies to tell us how unnecessary a strong military or mass military spending was during the 80s.

The point is, canadian socialist, canada really benefits from our Monroe doctrine even today. I think we ought to force canada to contribute to our military.

Then again, canada does have the canadian snowbirds.



Check em out everyone. The canadian airforce. <snicker>

The "canadian airforce."

You are beholden to many myths, Citizen.....

Oh here we go. Let us just leave out the factors that are significant. You think what money is spent on is irrelevant? You stupid ignorant fuckingmoronic socialist piece of elitist shit.

Yeah, I have seen you pieces of socialist shit claim the nuclear arms race had nothing to do with anything. Yeah you piles of socialist moronic shit try to claim the space race nor the arms race contributed to the epic failure known as marxism.

You are a fucking moron. You have nothing.

It is not that money is spent, it is also what the money is spent on.

You fucking ape. Give us your hippy left wing math on how and why the economy took a nose dive a year after the democrats took over the purse strings in 2007.

Your half baked socialist dreck only proves you are nothing but marxist propaganda.

You think you are smart too. How pathetic.

In his autobiography, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World (Penguin Press), Greenspan, 81, makes clear that his patron Ronald Reagan, who appointed him to head the U.S. central bank board in 1987, was a reckless steward of the nation's finances, eclipsed in economic irresponsibility by current president George W. Bush.

Since Obama Took Office, the Federal Debt Has Increased by Almost 70 Percent
Michael Sargent / December 03, 2014 / 81 comments

The federal government hit a new milestone Friday: The total federal debt now tallies more than $18 trillion.

Just six years ago when President Obama took office, total debt stood at $10.6 trillion, which means it now has increased by almost $8 trillion—roughly 70 percent—during his tenure as president.

Since Obama Took Office the Federal Debt Has Increased by Almost 70 Percent

In the course of Reagan's two terms the gross debt nearly tripled....within a few years of his departure, his fiscal legacy had generated a 4 bagger....

Obama's deficits are bigger than Reagan's entire budget!
Reagan's time is remembered rightly as a time of great prosperity and growth.
Obama's time is remembered as a time of stagnation and decay.

Reagan had a 16 month recession in his first term that started 6 months AFTER he took office.

Yes he did. It was teh result of the Fed raising rates to unparalleled levels to wring out the inflation caused by Reagan's predecessors. It was successful and when he left office both inflation and unemployment were much less.
Boy do you look stupid, uh?

The "canadian airforce."

Debt grew by $2.27 trillion under Reagan. Defense spending in constant dollars was $378 billion in 1979. By the end of 1988, it had risen to $532 billion. Accumulated increased defense spending under Reagan was $867 billion, accounting for 38% of the total debt build-up under Reagan.

Had defense spending been held constant, accumulated debt under Reagan would have risen by $1.41 trillion or 68%, still the highest since WWII.

Hope that helps.

Don't forget that Reagan also cut taxes while escalating the cost of the Cold War, which is fiscal insanity.

Were taxes higher or lower when he left office?
Darn, that's two.
