File talk:US Federal Debt as Percent of GDP by President (1940 to 2015).png

Data in the description lists Bush as the 2009 datapoint, but the graph properly colors it as Blue (Obama-Democratic Party). Probably just a typo.

Actually, the file-description mentions how the data are often "off" by one year (since the data reported in 2009 are for 2008. So perhaps we're missing one row of data in the description?

Updated Data through 2012

The Table 7.1 from whitehouse.gov now does the numbers as a percentage of GDP, so the chart doesn't require a second source. Here is updated data through 2012

Anyone feel like re-generating the chart? -SColombo (talk) 12:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

I figured out a way to convince Google Spreadsheet to chart it. Will update the image.
