Reagan escalated the size of the military and military spending. The size of government grew under Reagan

The military was responsible for only 1/4 of the budget increases. Furthermore, before Reagan, military spending had been declining for over a decade.

VietNam ended in the previous decade

Did you miss that?

Iraq has ended. Why isn't our military budget dropping?

 

[OODA_Loop]

Now explain your economics

LESS taxes and LESS creditworthiness for everyone.

They both drive costs.

It has......the war was on a separate budgetary line

 

[DiamondDave]

If we are serious about debt reduction we need to both increase taxes and decrease spending

Everyone has to make a sacrifice

Horseshit. Taxes have been increased and increased and increased. So when are the spending cuts going to occur? The answer is never. The Dims will simply offer gimmicks instead of any actual spending cuts. The truth is the Dims will never cut spending, not unless you hold a gun to their heads.

Taxes are lower than they were 30 years ago

At no time have republicans offered up spending cuts when they got their tax cuts. After all, tax cuts pay for themselves.

Incorrect.. the effective rate is just about the same... you know that 30 years ago you used to be able to deduct more things, have more types of investment not counted as income, etc, right?? Of course not, you are an idiot

And again, moron, the cuts that were ONCE AGAIN FOR THE FUTURE CONGRESSES (even under Reagan and O'Neil's government) NEVER CAME ABOUT, BECAUSE FUTURE SESSIONS OF CONGRESS ARE NOT BOUND BY THESE PROPOSALS

Funny how you guys don't propose current cuts that you are bound to, eh??

 

[Kosh]

Ok ....here is the theory of economics

Want to balance your budget, establish your spending threshold and set taxes accordingly

Reagan insisted on slashing taxes while he escalated spending........tripled our debt

Again, the Dims insisted on spending increases, not Reagan.

Reagan escalated the size of the military and military spending. The size of government grew under Reagan

And I see the far left hates the Constitution and can only post using talking points and propaganda.

Lest we forget that Ford and Carter slashed the military to the detriment of our armed forces, who were woefully under-trained, under-supplied, and handed inadequate equipment during that time.. there was much that had to be revamped in the military because of the years it was not allowed to advance and improve

But wrongwinger has no interest in truth

 

[DiamondDave]

Wrong on economics and wrong on history.

Let's be serious, you don't actually care about what the truth is for either and save both of our time and effort in getting there.

Really?

Reagan did not cut the tax rate?
Reagan did not increase spending?
Reagan did not triple the debt?

What economics school did you go to?

You just got done accusing Reagan of increasing taxes. So now you're accusing him of cutting taxes? Which is it?

The habitual liar is caught again

 

[DiamondDave]

VietNam ended in the previous decade

Did you miss that?

We were out of Vietnam by 1973, but military spending started declining long before that.

We deescallated after the war.........like you are supposed to

You are ending deployments.. not letting your equipment get outdated and go into disrepair.. not stopping research and advancement.. not dwindling your troops... you are indeed a moron

 

[Rozman]

I'm perfectly fine if Obama took 3 weeks vacation...
Every month...

Post Vietnam we had the wrong armed forces trained to fight the wrong war. Doctrine was wrong as was the equipment.

How about not even reading bills and voting blindly. Takes no work at all, no thinking and no worries about how bad they **** the people over.

The Dems earn their money by stealing from the tax payers and giving to people who didn't earn it. That is easy work. They don't even need to campaign, they just need to keep giving other people's money away and the losers will continue to vote for them.

It was mishandled completely. .and had to be revamped.. Reagan knew that and fixed it.. which costs money

Incorrect! Typical far left will not blame any (D) only an (R).

Hyper partisan to the last.
