The national debt was $1T when Reagan took office, $4T when Bush I left it. Those were greatest generation folks, right? Under boomer Clinton, it rose another $1T. Whether you can really attribute Bush II ($5T to $11T) to the boomer generation is open to question. I'll bet he lost within that population segment, both times. Federal deficits have been virtually continuous since the 1950s.
