1) The budget process starts with the President submitting a budget proposal to Congress. Declared DOA by the House each year. 2) 6 of the 8 years of the Reagan Administration the Senate was controlled by the Republicans; the White House and the Senate ulitmately have more control over the budget process than the House, given the Administration's ability to veto and the Senate's ability to override a veto; this facet gives the Senate a negotiating advantage when dealing with the House. LOL!! Reagan did not beleive in using the veto but very sparingly as he respected the legislative function. The Senate could do nothing withut House compromise.This is a very specious "fact". 3) Reagan signed all of the appropriations bills. See 2. He had to to get his defense spending increases. 4) The Cato institute, an acknowledged conservative think tank analyzed spending during the Reagan Administration and concluded that the deficit increases directly corresponded to the increased deficit. Well, of course they did because overall spending did not decrease or at least not increase as much as increased revenue flowing from the tax cuts... And what are your facts? Got it...
