Regan also cut taxes by a HUGE percent. His tax cuts and massive military spending is the reason for the large deficit . Those tax cuts are also the reason the budget balanced itself under Clinton. Your not going to win converts to your neocon cause by attacking real conservatives.

First, I am not a Neocon but you can call me one if it makes you feel bigger. Second bush cut taxes too. Taxes were high as 90% in the fifties and have been trending lower every since. Third numbers are numbers, they don't care about your explanation. 2005 GDP 2.9% 1975 GDP 6%. Thats the facts, you can argue any cause you wish but when you are through the numbers are going to remain the same.

So typically far right conservative... To you presenting the cold hard facts is considered an attack.

A dramatic and unexpectedly large fall in the rate of inflation was also part of the reason for the large deficits. This caused a greater real, rather than nominal, disparity in the budget numbers the Reagan economists had used in projecting the effect of the tax cuts.
