Your memory sucks. Republicans controlled the Senate for 6 of Reagan's 8 years.
Appropriations originate in the House, not the Senate.

Appropriations originate in the House, not the Senate. That is correct and irrelevant. It doesn't negate the fact that the Republican Senate under Reagan also passed the budgets or that Codeograph's memory is wrong.

Appropriations originate in the House, not the Senate. But the senate can amend the spending bills and then has to be resolved in conference committtee and then passed again by both houses.
If the Republican senate did not agree with the spending and if Reagan did not agree with the spending the money could not have been spent.
