Without Googling, I recall that Newt wanted to slow the growth and the LMSM called that a "CUT"
Because it was a cut. If you reduce the rate of increase to below the rate of inflation, that's a cut in real terms. If it cost you every dollar you made to live, and then the next year, you made $1.02, but your cost of living went up to $1.05, you'd be seeing a reduction in what you could afford even though your income increased. Same principle at play here.
Yeah...and these same folks will say Reagan never raised taxes...he just enhanced revenue.
LOL
