I am not a gushing Reagan lover, but at least I could respect the man. Celebrate the man for being a true conservative, but a realist. He cut taxes and then signed what was at that time the biggest tax increase in American history to address the significant budget deficits. In addition, he actually cut discretionary government spending by 1.3 percent per year during his 8 years in office.
(I have to get my jab in.) Bush on the other hand has cut taxes and created the largest deficits in history. Unlike Reagan he has been a huge spender. He has increased discretionary government spending by 8.2 percent per year in each of his first 4 years. Note that this spending does not include the war and reconstruction in Iraq. The guy has NEVER vetoed a spending bill or any other bill for that matter. Reagan did it 78 times. Check it out at http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0801767.html
