William Taft was pretty much a waste of space too. Nothing like using the Presidency as a stepping stone to something else (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.)

In terms of just the debt, Reagan was worse. You can debate as much as you want whether it was worth it (I personally am of the opinon that the USSR collapsed without much help, but whatever.) While the debt is currently higher as a percentage of GDP, it grew way more under Reagan. Thank you Star Wars.

Supporting Graph - I wish I could find one that separates Reagan from 1-Term Bush, but life ain't perfect.
