And where did I say it hadn't?

My point is Reagan is no better than Bush at domestic policies.

Reagan was better then Bush43 on domestic issues. Reagan was faced with the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression. Reagan reduced inflation and interest rates from double digit numbers, and created some 18-20 million new jobs durting his years in office. Reagan also cut discreationary spending over his first three years in office.

According to the Tax Foundation, Bush43`s three efforts at tax relief --- The Economic Growth and Tax Reform Reconciliation Act of 2001; The Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002; The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief and Reconciliation Act of 2003 --- combined, exceeded Reagan's Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. When you include Reagan's Tax Reform Act of 1986, in many aspects, its a draw on the impact level to taxpayers. Both Presidents have done the right thing on taxes. They both have a good record.

Spending is a different story altogether.
