I will shortly submit a budget to the congress aimed at freezing government program spending for the next year. Beyond this we must take further steps to permanently control government’s power to tax and spend. We must act now to protect future generations from government’s desire to spend its citizen’s money and tax them into servitude when the bills come through. Let us make it unconstitutional for the federal government to spend more than the federal government takes in.
Reagan was a humble man, the Won clearly is no such thing.
I think it's appropriate to compare Reagan entering into his second term to Obama. Similiar circumstances, far difference results. Let's see how the words each use.
"Similar circumstances"????
Once again, you prove you have no idea what you are talking about.
I've heard that horsecrap line for about 6 months now. Only those with no understanding (or an intense political motivation) can make the claim that the economic problems of the early 80s are remotely simlilar to the problems of today.

Um...when did Mr. Regan submit a balanced budget?
He didn't.
People often blame the Congress for the record breaking deficits of the 1980's. What they fail to mention is that the Reagan administration never sent a budget proposal to the Congress that proposed a balance budget. Nor did the Reagan administration send a budget proposal to the Congress that included a proposed reduction in the deficit from the prvious year.
But the raw facts are… Deficits under Reagan during the highest point was 4% of GDP. Under Obama it’s 10%. Under Reagan the debt was about 50% of the GDP. Under Obama the debt is now over 100% and growing. .
And boy howdy didn't we have a powerful military when he was done too!
Apparently we can no longer afford anything close.

I couldn't find the :dumbass post of the day icon:
Can we have just a :dumbass: icon please Vrai?
I'll compare the budget passed by Congress then to any passed in the last four years.
No, he didn't. But what he did do was recognize he was dealing with a democrat congress and had to COMPROMISE. Something liberals love to demand but not practice. The result of Reagan's compromise was a turn in the right direction economically, within his first term.
Actually, the Congress was split for 6 of the 8 years of the Reagan administration. The compromise you mention would've normally come after the President sent a budget to the Congress that proposed a balanced budget or a reduction in the deficit. He didn't even ask the Congress for deficit reduction or a balanced budget. That should've been his starting point. It wasn't.
So you're not really interested in results are you?
Huh?
I've always been interested in results.
So, results of Reagan vs. Obama?
So as the OP stated, both inherited similar circumstances with 180* opposite results.He didn't.

I lub you awpitt but you really do live in land.Both achieved favorable results compared to what each inherited; however, neither achieved optimal results.
