No president taxes and spends. Congress taxes and spends. The democrats controlled the house and senate during the Regan and Bush years. Fiscal responsibility was forced upon Clinton by a conservative republican congress. But the loser elites took over positions of power in the pubbie congress and along with a progressive pubbie president (compassionate conservative) increased spending in a manner that put the dimocrats to shame. Your comment is not well thought through, every Regan budget was “Dead on Arrival” in the Democrat Congress.
The president has the final say by signing the spending bill. Nice try.
