Reagan did not give you the deficits, Flakey, Congress did. Revenues in the decade after the tax rate cuts, doubled. Spending by the Democratic Congress MORE than doubled. Any mook around can cipher that arithmetic. What planet did you get your mortgage on? It was during the Carter years that interest rates skyrocketed. They DECLINED during the 80's. Memory doesn't serve you well. Tax rates after Reagan's term were subsantially lower than when he took office. You are on your own with Chicago politics, I want no part of it.
