Notice the ramp-up began in the mid-70's. Nixon took us off the gold standard and the Fed cranked up their printing presses:

Ping.

This is graphical evidence for why pegging federal spending to a “reagan benchmark” is not such a good idea.

Notice the slope was pretty consistent until George Bush then it took off.

Also notice the income slope is less then inflation so in real terms income is down.
