Who said the R's were by & large, fiscally conservative any way? :-) They did? BIG WHOOP!! They probably say they never lie, as well. Then there are the Dems, the R mentors...

I have a feeling that the dollar amounts were left off on purpose. Percentages only tell part of the story. If the AMOUNTS of money the debt was increased by each prez we would have a very different outlook. We need to know "percent of what amount".

 Some one once said  "If figures don't lie, then why do liars figure?" I got that from a Texas man, Harold Bell, that I knew in Phoenix in the 70s. . Also became a Cowboys fan because of him.
