The US has had a national debt since the beginning of this nation. Party does not matter. Every President raised it. The slowest raise in recent years was under Clinton.

I know you did not mention presidents, but Trump's increase was 27% over 4 years.

The U.S. national debt is the total of what the federal government owes creditors. The U.S. has always carried debt, but the total has expanded rapidly since 2008.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Neither of your links provided the percentage of increase but this one does,

Bill Clinton 32% (Rounded up from 31.64%)
Don't get me wrong, it's better than the rest but your claim of 22% is wrong.
Clinton was fortunate enough to have great congresses while he was in office especially when you consider congress creates the budget. POTUS sends his budget request to Congress but it is always, ALWAYS disapproved and then congress goes to work to repay their sponsors, I mean donors.
