I'm glad you understand who Reagan really was.
>>>... he surely didn't do everything he promised and he surely ballooned the deficit and grew the government.
I never said Reagan was perfect. But lets not forget, under Bush43 the deficit has ballooned and the government has grown.

The president doesn't have the authority to spend a single cent. That is all the Congress.
For all the bashing the hardline conservatives do of Bush, they sure don't seem to hold their own Representatives accountable for being the ones who are spending like kids in a candy store. Now that the GOP controll both houses, they're the ones blowing it and disgracing Reagan's fiscal conservativism. And they're taking Bush down with them.
I think from time to time how Reagan would have killed to have GOP control in Congress. He never had that. And instead of doing good by Reagan, the Republicans are blowing it.

And where did I say it hadn't?
My point is Reagan is no better than Bush at domestic policies.
