Your link is irrelevant to the point you quote and respond to. The deficit increasing a lot when Reagan was president (although not as much as it has with Obama as president), doesn't imply or suggest that it wasn't largely because of spending that was driven by programs started by FDR and LBJ. Those programs represent the majority of the budget, and they increase automatically with no new congressional action needed to increase the spending. Spending on those programs drove the deficit even when Reagan was president, it drives it to a greater extent today, and absent major changes that portion will increase even more in the future. They have been gradually taking over the budget.
