As I said, the deficits and debt soared after both tax cuts under Reagan
and Bush. Some numbers. Under Reagan, the debt went from less than one
trillion to over $ trillion. Or put another way, Reagan created more
debt than all the presidents before him combined. That is failure.

Bush cut taxes and created $ trillion of debt, twice the debt created
by Reagan.

So, let's look at all the numbers now. Before the Reagan Revolution, the
US had $900 billion of debt. Today, after decades of Republicans
promising to balance the budget with tax cuts, we have over $9 trillion
of debt. There is a relationship between the GOP lying about tax cuts
and this massive explosion of debt.

Rest assured I can debate and win any argument against any conservative
in the country.

Tell me this. If it's so easy to balance the budget, why didn't Reagan
or Bush propose a single balanced budget? They both proposed tax cuts
and they both proposed more spending but neither of them balanced the
budget even once. Why is that?
