Argh, you make me crazy. Reagan submitted HUGE budgets to Congress. They gave him less than he wanted. He's the one who didn't keep it in check. Also, part of the reason government revenue went up was the richest people in the country more than doubled their income over his term, so it didn't matter that Reagan cut their taxes 15%. It's not like the man was some kind of economic visionary! Stop it.
