"Fell for the bait"? Really? Look at how ALL republican administrations since Reagan have piled on spending, more entitlement programs, unelected and unaccountable alphabet agencies, and screwed up the taxes and rates so badly that half don't pay Federal taxes, all to grow Federal power and control.
Fell for it? Stop lying to yourself and to us. It's who they are. It's what they do.
You know what? "It's Bush's Fault" has a ring of truth to it.
President Reagan cut the top marginal tax rate from 70% in 1980 to 28% in 1988.
The inflation rate decreased from 13.58% in 1980 to 1.91% in 1986.
16 million jobs were created during his 8 years and economic growth was fantastic.
President Reagan cut funding for Medicaid, Food Stamps and the EPA. He didn’t create any new social programs.
