Reagan's first budget was $550 billion and his last $950 billion...almost doubling government spending. Your are repeating DNC talking points. Stop it.

Inflation was running double digits at that time. Corrected to constant FY2000 dollars, the Carter administration's last budget was 1.22 trillion and Reagan's last budget was 1.5 trillion. Increase of 23% in 8 years.

This administration has already grown the federal budget by 27% in constant dollars in 5 years.
