Can someone tell me the amount of debt Regan and the Bush's accumulated?

Have a graph...

Reagan left with 3 trillion in the hole
Bush Jr came in +3 trillion surplus, and left around 8-10 trillion in the hole depending on who you ask.
In fact if it wasn't for George Sr. tax hike (which got him voted out) we would be in a lot bigger trouble.
All Clinton did was ride the surplus created by GHWB.

The original graph is false as Snopes reveals in its usual partisan way. There was no 3 trillion surplus when G.W. Bush came to office. That's ridiculous. In fact, there was no surplus at all when he entered office as Clinton's last budget FY 2000 was not projected to be in surplus.
