I noticed Kate's reply and remembered I forgot to say something about this nonsense.

And you're leaving out the fact that raising taxes was necessary because the Democrat controlled Congress continued to spend money like a drunken sailor.

Congress doesn't spend, Congress authorizes the President to spend. You may not have noticed that Reagan had to sign all those appropriations bills that Congress authorized. But he really, really did.

About the only thing in the Federal Budget that you can hit Congress for spending is their own piddly operating expenses and pork that they inject into the budget.



Can you line up Congressional majorities against earmark spending by yourself?
