The Reagan Principle was to cut taxes and to cut spending! When the Dmocratically controlled Congress passed Pres. Reagan's tax cuts they promised to cut spending as much the taxes were cut. Since the president must either sign the entire budget bill or veto the entire budget bill, Reagan signed the budget bills the Democratically controlled Congress presented to him. Those budgets were grudgingly signed by Reagan because Congress did cut the taxes as he had asked. But did the Democratically controlled Congress cut the spending as they had said they would? Because of the huge deficit it is obvious that the Democrats did not cut the spending as they had promised to. Now to protect the dishonesty of the Democratically controlled Congress Democrats are blaming the deficits that occured during the Reagan administration on Reagan. The Democrats in Congress lied and did not cut the spending they increased it! The deficits that happened during the Reagan administration were created by the Democratically controlled Congress not Pres. Reagan!
