Tiger:<<<<ME-Tip gave his word to spending restraint .... it went through the roof. on military and social programs
YOU-Tip O'Neill never promosed to invade the White House and tackle Reagan when he proposed huge increases in spending. The pork in Congress was the relatively moderate business as usual. The pork from the White House was never before seen amazing borrow and spend proposals. It was not Tip's place to play Grinch to Reagan's Santa Claus. It would have been nice in retrospect, but it was Reagan wild spending funded by borrowing that ushered in the era of deficits as far as the world can see>>

since you are convinced Reagan was the big social spender name a social program he pushed which made a significant impact on budget.
