I see defense spending (especially during the Cold War) as necessary and should not be included in an argument like this.
My point: Reagan tried to cut spending, congress blocked him. Lowered spending was part of his plan. He tried and tried but was never able to get a decent portion of his items cut.
The arguement about Bush Jr. is correct, in my opinion. I have never been happy with his spending.
The argument about Reagan and spending is flawed, in my opinion.
