Budget deficits had grown more frequent in the last half-century, and they soared during the 1980s. At the end of fiscal year 1977 the deficit was $706 billion. By the end of the fiscal year 1997 it was $5.38 trillion--almost 8 times as much as it had been 20 years earlier. * In its first three years, the Government spent a total of about $4 million. By the 1800, total annual spending amounted to less than $11 million. Almost two centuries the total has climbed to $521 billion. * Federal spending climbed during the 1930s from $4 billion in 1931 to over $8 billion in 1936. WW2 increased that number to $91 billion by 1944.

First of all, the federal budget deficit and the national debt are two different things. The debt is the total of borrowed money owed by the federal government, and the budget deficit is the amount that is added to the debt each year due to the lack of a balanced budget.During the eight years of Ronald Reagan's presidency, the national debt rose by 1.78 trillion dollars due to eight budgets with deficits ranging from 100 billion dollars to 280 billion dollars being signed into law. That changed the size of the national debt from 960 billion dollars to 2.74 trillion dollars, an increase of 185.4%.
