revenues went up, under reagan... form $517 billion in 1980 to $909 billion in 1988
if all of sudden the budget means somethign to you Ricter... and that is a laugh considering you have been a krugman fan boy... the issue with the budget was spending... not tax cuts.
So now what is your point about how much obama has spent compared to Reagan?
--
this was as of last year... it is now expected to be 20 trillion in debt. Obama has just about doubled a massive debt.
The total federal debt, which was $18,722,746,583,118.03 at the close of business on Monday, now equals about $159,007 per household.
It has increased approximately $68,756 per household during Obama’s presidency.
On Jan. 20, 2009, when Obama was inaugurated, the total debt of the federal government was $10,626,877,048,913.08. On Nov. 23, 2015, it was $18,722,746,583,118.03 Thus, so far in Obama’s presidency, the federal debt has increased $8,095,869,534,204.95.
As of September, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 117,748,000 households in the United States. The $18,722,746,583,118.03 in federal debt equals $159,006.91 for each one of those households.
The $8,095,869,534,204.95 that the debt has increased under Obama equals about 68,755.90 for each one of those households.

Not fair, since Reagan exploded our debt to foreigners, with his tax cuts and spending increases. You can create a shit ton of jobs that way. No one can match that, nor does anyone want to, except for Drumpf (going by his proposed economic plan).
