Guess Bartlett forgot that Reagan spent #1.50 for every dollar he took into the treasury.

Guess he forgot too that Reagan signed the 1986 Tax Reform bill that left his successor in a recession.

Guess he forgot that Reagan raised taxes on corporations.

Guess he thinks that educating the poor by forcing testing on students and teachers won't make America stronger.

Guess he thinks that paying for preventive medicine won't help Medicare and Medicade in the long run.

Yup, IMO, he's an opportunist with no vision for the future.

Post #3 - Reagan also had to deal with a Democratic Congress.

Bush has had the luxury of a Republican-controlled Congress and still isn't able to cut spending.
