Congress overspent in the 1980s _not_ Reagan
Andy Myers of Iowa City argues that deficits in the 1980s resulted from Congress and entitlement spending, not the Reagan tax cuts. He notes revenues rose from 517.1 billion in 1980 to 1.031 trillion ten years later, and that deficits fell from 6.2 to 2.9 percent of GDP by Reagan’s end, while Bush’s 1990 budget deal halted growth.
