From this [tweet by Bobby Kogan](https://xcancel.com/BBKogan/status/2049871190840254746) based on data cited in the image. Tweet text: "Your perennial reminder that, had the Bush and Trump tax cuts never been enacted, debt/GDP would be declining indefinitely instead of rising (dashed blue is above dashed orange).

Yes, this graph first assumes a patched AMT at Clinton tax code."
