It all went down hill financially with Reagan

First off Bush and Republicans gave massive tax cuts to the rich in the belief that they would spend more money to generate the economy. The Republicans have done this since the 1920's cutting taxes on the rich. Even going so far as to say don't tax the rich.
Second who controls Congress? The spend all Republicans and some of there pork barrel projects. Like the bridge in Alaska that goes now where.
How many spending bills did Bush veto? ZERO? So you ask and the Republican give us debt and deficit.

Because they believe in spending huge amounts of money on everything but what is good for the American people. Including starting wars which is actually good for the political pocketbook but terrible for the average citizen. I remember during the Reagan presidency wondering if he was the president of the United States or the president of overseas.

Reagan was a great president. Yes there is a trend that most people spend money they don't have. Bush is facing a time when money has to be spentfor war. I am not for war,I am for making sure our forces have what they need to do a job they have to do.
Clinton and other dems. spent theyre share,just not to the extent of a war on 2 fronts.Reagan outspent the russians,and that was basicaly there fall.

That was a problem long before Reagan. I'm almost 60. MY MOTHER USED TO SAY THE SAME THING. Republicans give tax cuts to the rich . They always have. Then the Dems have to fix things .

Clinton had increased ther national debt too, but it didn't go to public safety as Brother Bush has done. He brought more than monica lewinsky to her knees. The damncrat is already forgotten and that is good.

The only reason we got out of deficit under Clinton was because he GUTTED THE MILITARY AND THE CIA, and 5 years ago today we paid the price for it.

Because Dems preside over long periods of fake financial statements. In short their economies are artificially inflated (dot.com industries, Worldcom, Enron).
