This is a link to the Historical Tables of the US Government. Go to page 120 and 121.

On page 121 you will see what the debt is now and how the debt for 2003 is projected to be 62.8% of the GDP. Under Clinton, for most of his term the percentage was in the high 60's. ery interesting facts, especially since his claim ti fame was his balanced budget :crosseye:

The highest this ratio ever was happened in 1946 when the debt was 121.7% of the GDP.
