As I said, Republican Presidents. Since Reagan they have all sought tax cuts for the wealthy and spent lavishly on making war. These have been the primary source of our deficit, and what is different than the decades prior to the 80's. Presidents play a heavy hand in directing congress on its budget items. It was Reagan more than any individual Representative that forced the tax overhaul of the 80's, he created the truthy term "trickle down economics," he was the force behind the arms race. Bush 43 was the force behind the Iraq war and the 2% tax cuts for the wealthy that cost us more every year than all the money congress got just done fighting over. I stick by what I said.
