The GUlf war under Bush SR wasnt so taxing as this war is because under Bush Sr. we kicked them out of Kuwait can came home.
Also, we spend 700 Billion overseas for foreign oil, things Carter, Reagan, Bush SR never had to deal with on the scale CLinton and Bush have had to.
I like that chart, shows some good info.
but what you really need to see, is a chart of ECONOMIC growth and overlay it.
Im willing to bet inflation, unemployment far out trumps Carters Administration with BUSHs.
And as i have posted NUMEROUS times before, Bushs numbers are identical if not better than Clintons in terms of Economic performance, this last 6 months not included (which isnt bushs fault IMO)
Reagan HAD TO SPEND MONEY because of the complete lack of jobs/economy Carters Administration didnt create.
You are only looking at 1 sign of the coin
I am bi-partisan. You see Carter didn't create any mess. Like Obama he inherited it. From who? Lets see Nixon and his VP Spiro, the only President and VIce-President to resign. Then Ford became president and didn't fix a damn thing. Then Carter became president but America was too deep in doo doo for him to fix anything in 4 years. The FEd should NOT have raised interest rates under Carter, that was a huge mistake.
