During the late Clinton years it didn’t, and several cases before then. But in recent memory, yeah. It’s gotten so bad we’ve gotten to the point where we measure how bad it is based on how much higher it got rather than if it got higher

The “public debt” did not increase during a few years of the Clinton administration, but thats because they counted loans from the social security trust fund as revenue. The total national debt increased every year.

I see. I think by that metric there were some years in the 40s and 50s it didn’t increase then but that’s a very long time ago now obviously
