Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it, right? Reagan made this compromise with Democrats in 1986 (think I got the year right). Deductions and “loopholes” were eliminated in exchange for lower rates. The economy boomed and tax revenue increase. The Dems spent all the increase and more, so the deficit increased. The Dems blamed the deficit on Reagan’s tax cuts, so (TA-DA!)rates went back up, but the deductions never returned.
Reagan and the American people were had.
You called it just like it happened. tipp o’neal is burning in hell... his lap dog chrissy has a burning hearth awaiting his arrival. We need DRASTIC SPENDING CUTS AND REDUCTIONS IN FUTURE ENTITLEMENTS!

And repeat it, they always will.
