That's just a fact, I'm drawing no conclusions from that so keep your flames to yourself! But check it, during the Carter administration it went up and peaked in 80 when Reagan took over. From there it steadily dropped until '92 when Clinton took over. It peaked again in 99-00, right when Bush took over. I wonder what's happened since.

That's definintely a reasonable observation.
I don't think it's a stretch to say we'll see another upward trend under Obama considering the way his admin has approached things so far.
