I looked at the Budget Myth site. What I saw was a difference between proposed and actual budget. What is omitted is the difference between either budget and revenues!!! That is the key, and that was softpedaled on that page. Congress has no business asking, and the President has no business signing, a Budget that exceeds revenue. OK so my butt is hard on this issue.

Hi, I looked at the Reagan site and saw that actual outlays exceeded administration proposed outlays by $198B over the Reagan years. Elsewhere on the site I saw the annual budget deficits listed and those added up to $1,409B. Conclusion: while about $200B of the deficits can be blamed on Congress, $1200B, the bulk of the Reagan era budget deficits, should be laid at Reagan's door.
