Since 1980 Republican President Regan (8yrs), Bush Sr. (4yrs) and Bush Jr. (8yrs) have run up the national debt related to GDP. The only President to address the debt was President Clinton (8yrs). President Obama is now blamed for spending to get out of the financial disaster Bush Jr. created. How can Conservatives seriously expect anyone to take their policies seriously when they have been responsible for most of the increase in debt since 1980?
