Madigan, > The debt went up because we didn't cut spending too.
Again, a load of crap. There were massive spending cuts in programs and even more massive increases in military spending. During Reagan's administration I worked for a defense contractor on the Strategic Defense Initiative. The military budget was so awash with cash that it was being thrown around to attract engineers and scientists. I was personally getting wined and dined as an engineer, and attended functions in the governor's mansions, high class hotels, and you name it. The REPUBLICANS jacked up those funds for weapons, and once they were manufactured they sat in 'mothballs' in the deserts of California and Arizona. I was there. I saw them. My salary was paid with the obscene waste in the Reagan administration. But at the same time, funding was cut to the school lunch programs (ketchup was a vegetable, remember?), head start, support for indigent pregnant women, Pell grants for college students... Just so we could put more Tomahawk cruise missiles in piles in the desert. THAT is why I am a Democrat. I can't STAND the republican waste, fraud, and abuse. They are absolutely horrible stewards of our tax money.
