Wonder what you would of wrote about an American President that raised taxes 6 times, doubled Federal Spending in 8 years, ran up massive defecits and started the "War on Drugs"?
That President in question was Ronald Reagan.

Reagan also had a Democrat Congress he was forced to work with, and the only way he could get anything he wanted, especially the military buildup and spending cuts the country needed at the time, was to deal with Tip O’Neil.

To post 16 - You’ve omitted how many times were taxes cut during Reagan’s Presidency and by how much. So, does this, or not, make him a significant net reducer of taxes?
