"No slamming the Democrats isn't the same as praising the Republicans."

Singling out the Democrats for it sure is.

re: Reagan raised taxes when he knew that he was going to screw future generations if he didn't. Admirable.
*****************
Nonsense, he knew no such thing. To know it would imply it was true, and it wasn't, but also there is no sign that he believed it either.


Then why did he raise taxes?

re: Data to support? Clinton actually reduced government employment, the first in a long time (maybe ever) and the only since.

re: As for employment, Clinton was able to cut the military (including civilian DoD employees), if you drop out those areas federal government employment increased under Clinton.

Data?

re: The congress at the time is one of the few in modern times to mostly have a positive record. Its unfortunate that they turned so strongly away from spending restraint in subsequent years but that doesn't change what they did then.

So Clinton didn't sign those bills?
