No, I am well aware that Reagan signed the '86 Amnesty and also of the kinds of Congresses Reagan had to work with versus the kind Bush has to work with.
I also recall something Reagan didn't sign into law: the 22 spending bills he vetoed in his first three years.
There was still a whole lot of spending going on. The defecits were bigger than. Bush is far from perfect, but you are spewing crazy talk.
