The Booman looks at the record (emphasis added):
This was our history until Ronald Reagan came to power. During Reagan’s two terms our public debt increased eleven percent and nine percent, respectively. Under George H.W. Bush, our debt increased fifteen percent. This was rectified under Bill Clinton, whose two terms delivered a one percent and seven percent reduction in our public debt. And then came George W. Bush.
In Bush’s first term, our public debt increased seven percent. During his second term, our debt increased by a post-war record of twenty-percent.
