Neo,

If the domestic cuts he desired had been made, the deficit would have been considerably less or non- existent.

Reagan was by far the worst fiscal manager of any President. The only way he could have compensated for his military spending increases and 1981 tax cut would have been to make major cuts in Social Security, which he did not attempt to do. He never vetoed a budget, and he had Republican control of the Senate. His veto would have stood.

Instead he signed three tax hikes into law in 1982, 1984, and 1986.
