<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1266604, member: 22143&quot;]Your contemporary numbers are completely wrong as you left out all the war spending which was not budgeted but which did become part of the debt.&nbsp; (Which I stated in my post)&nbsp; Reagan isn&#039;t relevant to this because he didn&#039;t take office until January 1981.&nbsp; Go back and read the post again in context.&nbsp;&nbsp; We are talking about the economy leading up to the gold bubble of 1980 and why it isn&#039;t relevant now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your numbers do prove my point however.&nbsp; During the period from 1975 to 1980, military spending was at its lowest.&nbsp; Hardly something that is done if you are in a &quot;war&quot; with anyone.&nbsp;&nbsp; Totally different than now where we are fighting 3 &quot;wars&quot; which have no endpoint defined.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
