Sorry. I was there. Tip O'Neill and the boys were largely to blame. You must have been sleeping through it all. Reagan shared some of the blame no doubt in that he should have fought for the necessary spending cuts. Look at the Cato article [I'm sure you can find it.] All the increased Defense spending of Reagan's >>>>> deficit. Nope. Read the Constitution. Spending bills originate in the Dem controlled (at that time) House. If you want to go through that tactic of who started it, then you might include that the budget process starts with the Administration submitting a budget to Congress...which was Rep controlled, sic Reagan at the time. But who starts it isn't particularly important; there are three players in the game, the Administration, the House and the Senate. They all have roughly equal roles [but it could be easily argued that the White House and the Senate have more power due with respect to vetoes.] And it still remains that the Senate was Republican controlled for 6 of the 8 years. Two out of three controlled by the Reps. jttmab
