Neocon: You wrote: "Similarly, although Reagan was thwarted from reducing the extent of spending and size of government, the important issue was mainly deregulation, which proceeded apace, thus easing the burden on business, freeing markets for competition, and increasing economic activity."

Please remind me of the year that Ronald Reagan submitted to Congress a budget that was in balance--for some reason, I just can't remember it! :-)

You suffer from selective memory. Reagan never saw a spending increase he didn't mind. He just never thought he would see the day when that money would have to be payed back. He was right, he still doesn't see it.
