Reagan took on the Evil Empire. Bush wants to help out the Evil Empire (China). He will not even call communism evil, as was evident in his speech in Congress. Reagan was the ultimate supply-sider who wanted to cut the size of the govt. Bush not only wants to expand it, but he thinks big govt is compassionate. If Reagan had any one chamber of Congress behind him, he would have been able to do much more.

Did not Reagan have the Senate from 1980 - 1986? True he never had the House.

Sort of like the "Axis of Evil"? He wanted to cut government but spent more than any previous president. He had the Senate behind him for 6 years. What did he do with it?
