This doesn't show the inside dealings which were the dems were not going to support Reagan on his programs and would lose what he wanted. They all made a deal. And then the dems welshed. You have shown the republican contribution to this. You have shown what happened on paper. This was because of a 'hand shake' deal made that was not honored.
No President has ever spent a dime. Reagan was President for 8 years and 8 times he submitted a budget to the House Of Representatives and 8 times the Speaker Of The House dropped his budget in the trash can on National T.V. to mock the President. The U.S. Constitution states that all spending must FIRST pass the House of Representatives, THEN it must pass the Senate, THEN the President can either sign or veto the budget. Even if he veto's the Congress can over ride the veto.
Ronald Reagan had to deal with a House Of Representatives that was controlled by a strong Communist majority. They hated him, they promised him spending cuts PUBLICLY and then broke their word and laughed at his call to pass the line item veto to control spending. Yes there is plenty of left sites and right sites that speak of Reagan. They want to blame Reagan but the fault is with the congress in reality.
