Yea, and all the sequester did was slow down the economy. Why in the Hell do you think Reagan nearly doubled the size of the federal government during his eight years in office? The economy didn't grow so strong under Reagan just because he cut tax rates. Remember that he increased many taxes after the initial tax cuts.
The sequester did not slow down the economy. Reagan did not double the size of the federal gov't.
Geez its like ancient history with some people.
Pretty difficult to argue with someone who just chooses to ignore facts. Enjoy your fantasy world. BTW, if you were literate you would have seen that I said Reagan nearly doubled the size of the federal government. During his eight years, federal spending increased almost 70%. That is heading very close to double, but you obviously know much more about history and facts, since you are the literate one.
OK, you understand that "doubling the size of the federal government" is not the same as increasing spending 70%, right? You also understand that Congress passes budgets, right? Who controlled Congress during that time? Right, Democrats. That was a graph somewhere in the link I posted. The one you didnt read.
And there was no 70% increase either.
So your post is a prime example of someone who doesnt know what the hell he's talking about. Thanks for clarifying.
