When Reagan took office the total Federal Expenditures was 590 billion dollars. When Reagan left office the Federal Expenditures were 1,051 Billion dollars.
Your posted figures and fancy graphs failed to include entitlement spending. The number left out of your graphs was for Reagans Last year was 400 Billion dollars worth of social entitlement spending. You got graphs that left that number out. If you want to play with number try this atempt to lie with numbers. Social entitlements in fiscal 1988 would have been 80 percent of the Budget in 1981.
Do you think we don't remember Reagan claiming in the 1984 debates that he had not cut social spending. I lead my next morning's newscasts with that story. Reagan in his debate with Mondale claimed he had only cut the rate of increase in spending. Reagan bragged in the 1984 debates with Mondale that he had increased social net spending every year for the last 4 years.
