Like I said, the FACT is that while government income rose by a factor of two under Reagan, spending rose by a factor of three. That shows the real problem is in Congress, which was controlled by Democrats at the time, though both sides are guilty. Should Reagan have vetoed the budgets, like Clinton did? It's easy to look back and say yes. The Democrats promised Reagan a spending cut if he would increase taxes. He did increase taxes, but he is still waiting for the spending cut.
