As for the post about nobody complained about deficits during the Bush Jr. years, that is shallow and unfounded. Many, many fiscal conservatives complained about the "spending" programs and government expansion under Bush Jr; myself included. Of course, like the current Administration, Jr. had a lot to deal with as well (if you remember the serious downturn in the economy after a certain date in 2001). Reagan had a tough economy to deal with as well, but the results began to take place 2.5 years after he took office. In my opinion, he did not veto enough spending bills. Let's also remember who was in charge of Congress during those years for the most part - they weren't represented by the elephant. Who controls spending? You can certainly discern that one. The Republicans got their "butts" kicked for spending so much if you recall as well.
