The ONLY reason RR got elected was Jimmy Carter. Sure couldn't do math well.

You’re too clever for your own good. Some of us remember what the economy and government was like during the 15 years before Reagan took office. Reagan got the country back on track and prosperous again. It was because of that, that Clinton had the luxury of reducing the deficit. (He also engaged in currency manipulation and other tricks by Bob Rubin.)
I strongly dislike W. He took the Clinton stock market collapse and made it worse and presided over the housing bubble and collapse. So in a sense his spending was to recover from his own malfeasance along with Clinton’s.
Obama is Obama. What else can I say except to be called an Obama is the worst? And then we had the rise of the GOPe, which let him do anything he wanted as long a it meant bigger government and more chances to skim money from the taxpayer and never be held accountable.
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.
Did you pull that off of huff post or DU ?
Little factoid missing: Congress spends the money which reflects on the up swings...
