Wrong answer! He was the President that brought WWII to an end. So, the debt at the end of the war was his debt.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Your answer is so ridiculous that it doesn't warrant an answer. The chart clearly shows that he worked to reduce the debt. Admittedly this isn't hard after a major war, but come on - saying it's his debt is absurd. You have no substance. You're just being sectarian.

Any comparison of Truman to today's democrat Leftist/Marxist is absurd.

He was the VP before becoming President. Therefore, it's as much his debt as it is FDR's.

The chart doesn't show that he personally worked to reduce the debt. It only shows that the debt started to decrease during his presidency. Try READING these things instead of reading into them.

Maybe it does. Nixon cut and ran from Vietnam so he gets that debt, right? And Reagan declared the end of the cold war so he gets that debt. And Bush declared mission accomplished so he gets that debt....

Works for me...

Geesh.. your view of the world is one spin machine after another.

No wonder you have trouble wearing those tin foil hats.. you are spinning around like a top.
