Did Ronald Reagan triple the National Debt (from 700 billion under Carter to 2 Trillion.)?

Yes. Under Reagan it went from 908 billon to 2.9 trillion - 200% increase Tripled in 8 years Under Bush 1 it went from 2.9 trillion to 4.4 trillion - 50% increase in 4 years Under Clinton it went from 4.4 trillion to 5.7 trillion - 26% increase in 8 years Under Bush 2 it went from 5.7 trillion to 12 trillion - 100% increase doubled in 8 years Under Obama (so far) it went from 12 trillion to 16 trillion - 33% increase in 4 years.

I love people comparing that to Obama's spending. Tripling 1 and doubling 15 are two very different things.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
