Here's the link that Irishsean alluded to, but failed to reference.

Oh, by the way... the facts still speak for themselves. Read the article. You (like me) may learn something.

But the most important measure of the deficit is not the size in dollars, or even the size in dollars after adjusting for inflation. The most important measure is the size relative to the nation’s economic output, what economists call Gross Domestic Product or GDP. And in fact, the current projected deficit was equaled or exceeded in four years during the Reagan administration and two years in the term of Bush’s father.

Emphasis added.
So I guess the current deficit is not "the worst in history" (something I never claimed by the way). It's just as bad as the some other Republicans created!
Well, that makes me feel much better.
