That’s not accurate, it was somewhat a steady trajectory from the founding of the country with the revolutionary war debt through the end of the Carter administration some 200 years growing to 900 billion, then came the Reagan administration and the tripling of the ND in just eight short years. And has skyrocketed ever since. Think about it, 200 years to 900 billion and then in just 39 years hence, 22 trillion 
He wasn’t calling you anything only stating a fact to the substance of your posts! You are not only emotionally triggered to conflate what is being said but you have a serious reading comprehension problem! Or is that sometimes conflated to being purposely obtuse? The point is he didn’t insult you only making an honest observation in which most here think about your dumb posts!

Not only the DNI, but the Pentagon both name our national debt as the chief threat to our national security. 
Both parties know how to stop the upward trend. It’s called cutting spending and neither party has the balls to balance the budget.
And I didn’t.
You sure do a lot of complaining about being insulted – even when you are not.
Of course it is.
And you didn’t say anything that contradicts what I ACTUALLY said.
Well yeah.
My statement suggested that nobody knows how to generate the fortitude to do it.

What dripping hypocrisy. You insult everyone then whine when someone throws it back your way.
Stop flinging feces into the wind and you won’t stink.
Spending doesnt’ even need to be cut, just cut the growth in spending until GDP growth and the concurrent growth in revenues equalizes the equation and then reverses it.
They really should stay in their swim lanes.
Suggested is a fact.
No, you didn’t, it was a generic “you” as you were commenting on my post to another poster who had.
Sure I did, the National debt was on a steady trajectory through the end of the Carter administration and then went on steroids beginning with Reagan. Again it took 200 years and 39 presidents to accumulate 900 billion dollars of debt and in 8 short years it tripled during the Reagan administrations. And has been skyrocketing since. NOT a steady trajectory. 
You quoted MY post, and complained about being insulted. I responded to that.
I did not insult you.
If you’re actually talking about what went on 100 posts ago, Major_havoc didn’t call you a partisan. He talked about a partisan collapse of values.
For that matter, being called a partisan isn’t an insult in and of itself.
Really, I’ll repeat, you do too much complaining about being insulted when, in fact, you are not being insulted.
Steady means continuous. Not uniform.
But stick with nits. You might earn an internet point.

I addressed that…
And I made my point clear on that, twice now.
Cool!
And I consider YOUR point immaterial to what I said.
But keep picking nits. You might still win an internet point!!

It sure mattered to Trump and all his supporters during the campaign when he was making a stink about the rising debt throughout the Obama administration. Now that he’s realizing he can’t pay off the debt and run balanced budgets as he PROMISED, suddenly debt and deficits don’t matter. Now that’s transparency…
