Cool article about government debt increases

Here's a cool blog post about how much government debt increased under different administrations. It's not the most accurate reflection of a President's actions; a policy that one president enacted might not begin to add to debt until after that President leaves office. For example, Obama already has a higher yearly percentage increase of debt than his forebear, Bush II but most of the policies that add to this debt are the wars and tax cuts which Bush implemented before leaving office. It's a nifty little graph nonetheless.
