This chart shows the amount of debt increased by the party in power in congress, regardless of the party of the president in power, from 1975 to 2006.
The largest increase in debt was by the Republican run congress between 2003 to 2006. A record $555 billion dollar increase in 2003, only to be eclipsed the next year, a $596 billion increase.
Surely we have 2007 and 2008 data to add here for the Democratic congress under the same president as 2003-2006?
It’s a shame this doesn’t continue into 2009. There would...two more dwarfing bars, one...
Crazy night, eh? =)
