Economy:

Reagan pledged during his 1980 campaign for president to balance the federal budget, but never submitted a balanced budget in his eight years in office. In 1981, the deficit was $79 billion and, in 1986, at the peak of his deficit spending, it stood at $221 billion.

The federal debt was $994 billion when he took office in 1981 and grew to $2.9 trillion when his second term ended in 1989.
