You want to ignore the fact that your little chart there correlates quite well to periods when democrats control the House, where of course all spending bills originate.
The graph explodes upward beginning in 2007 when Democrats took over congress and began increasing spending, then goes almost vertical under Obama.
You began this thread claiming that Bush I and II were responsible for $10 trillion of the debt. When proven wrong, you tried to drag Reagan into it, only to find out you were STILL wrong. Since you lack the guts to admit that, you instead are trying to muddy the waters with meaningless charts from some lame web site. I could as easily draw up a chart correlating the decrease in tobacco consumption with increase in the national debt, or the fall in popularity of Britney Spears with increasing debt.
It doesn't mean one thing has anything to do with the other.

However, when you are talking about the body that actually controls national spending, the correlation DOES mean something. And it ain't good for democrats.
