We don't blame Reagan for the deficit of the '80s. They (legislators) know Bush has an agenda he desperatly wants, so they barter his signiture on more pork spending in exchange for the legislation he wants. This is what the dims did to Reagan. But this time, the RINOs are helping the dims.

You know why? Because he cut taxes big time - - - which got the economy growing big time; the deficits didn't matter (except in Democratic rhetoric; Walter Mondale was very worried about them, even while the economy was creating a record number of new jobs);;;;; Bush, however, pushed for relatively paltry tax cuts - to be phased in over a decade --- at which time they disappear and taxes rise again, unless something is changed. TALK ABOUT UNCERTAINTY AND INABILITY TO MAKE TAX-RELATED PLANS! Bush may have a war to keep him high in the polls for now, but he's no Reagan when it comes to domestic policy, and we're the poorer for that.
