And the deficits in the 1980s and early 1990s would have been lower, had the Democrats not lied about providing spending cuts.
Bill Clinton benefited from the "peace dividend" created in the 80's but the fact is Clinton took a 4.4 trillion dollar debt and turned it into a 5.7 trillion dollar debt doing so with a Republican Congress most of his term.
