"Money is like an arm or a leg; use it or lose it." (Henry Ford)

Could the following headlines be printed in the media?

Ronald Reagan was the first President to increase the National Debt by more than $200 Billion in one year!

George H.W. Bush was the first President to increase the National Debt by more than $300 Billion in one year!
