I understand that context of your original statement. However, cherry picking defense as a valid expense still has no logic to it. Bush Jr. HAS cut spending in some areas. Maybe he even cut spending in more areas than Reagan (net savings aside). Or maybe has hasn't. Maybe Reagan only cut other things because he wanted more money to spend on defense. At the end of the day, the results are the same: bloated budgets.
But yes, it is not really a major discussion. Personally, I'm waiting for the debate on the context you brought up. There is additional context to this discussion - but I haven't seen it yet.
