ATT was broken up. Perhaps the significant innovation that has occured since that time is a result?

The interesting thing to me about the Reagan years is that tax receipts, as a percentage of GDP, were pretty constant at 19% of GDP. Nevertheless, deficits began to accelerate (by historical measurements) which has always led me to believe that spending was the impetus. Perhaps it was mainly the increases in military spending.
