The highest in history.
But not as a percentage of GDP. Interesting how you don’t address that crucial point.
And, as I said, you also conveniently don’t address the many attempts Bush made at reforming things when a bubble was becoming apparent.
Your evasions are the typical ones often used. They’re not based on the facts.
I’m quoting Bush calling for no-down-payment loans. Hardly an “evasion” when I quote the idiot’s own words. As for my citing the 2005 deficit number - you don’t deny it’s the highest number in history until then, you try to evade with obfuscations about “percentage of gdp”. Proves once again, there’s no arguing with a Bushbot. At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding: most people consider him a terrible president, and his failure is what elected Obama.
It certainly IS an evasion when you cherry pick and don't cite the OTHER words used during his administration to attempt reform.
As for your not addressing the fact that the debt was NOT the highest compared to GDP you don't seem to get the importance of that vital ratio. Reagan also had the highest debt in $ up to his time as well, but NOT in regard to GDP. The media/Dems convinced gullible millions that Reagan was irresponsible for that. But those gullible millions weren't also told that tax revenues were high too because of tax cuts so that argument was moot for people who understood that debt as a percentage of GDP is the important number. I really don't expect you to understand this point...just keep parroting your "Bushbot" mantra.
