In response to my post on Treasury Debt to Receipts Spiking an anonymous reader asked for data going back further than the early 1980's. Using data from USGovernmentRevenue.com, the chart below shows debt to receipts going back to the mid 1800's.

The bad: Since 1950, those levels were only higher after the Civil War and Great Depression
