[quote user=Brig] Accordingly, the answer is: All of them. [/quote]
yes, exactly. the republicans here have been trying to make it seem obama is the only one who increased, and massively. ultimately, even if he isn't increasing it as much, its still growing. I doubt anyone but Ron Paul would make that go down.

i have no way to verify this, so with like everything this could just be shit out my ass, but i think ol Gary johnson could bring that bitch down, if he were even assed to run for president still (hes at 7% ugh, news media need to stop dicking around)

[quote user=pimppapy]didn't Clinton bring around a Surplus?[/quote]
Yeah, but interest on the debt meant it still increased in absolute dollars, even when he wasn't adding to it.
However, debt relative to GDP declined... and I think that's what we really care about. Relative to the wealth we produce, the size of debt declined. In fact, it declined for most administrations, with the exception of Reagan and Bush.
Edit: Interest is the standard explanation, but there are multiple ways of doing the accounting. The debt really did decrease for a few years, but the first couple years were in the red.
