The deficit went UP because Reagan SPENT, SPENT, SPENT
You can't even get this simple fact straight.

Reagan didn't spend, spend, spend - the democrats did, going back on the bargain they made with him - $2 dollars in spending cuts for every $1 cut in taxes.

Btw, CONGRESS is the entity that spends, not the Executive.

Congress at 11% is the most unpopular in history. Now it dropping th apolicy approval of Obama with only like 1 year 7 months since taking office.Basic he has spent to the tune of unsustainablity and has nothig left to spend really. It is just getting deeper. He will be cursed by our children and grand children.Even then the failure of his spending policies are reflected in the fact that 250,000 jobs per month muct be created to get to the 8% unemployemnt by 2015 that his stimulus was supposed to handle.No one but a dreamers thinks that is possible.

Reagan signed those bills didn't he. Could have vetoed them.... Not to mention the President does make a budget proposal. Congress doesn't have to listen to the budget proposal, but the budgets passed by Congress were always very close with the budgets proposed by Reagan, so he wasn't exactly looking to make cuts when he was himself proposing the increases.

44% - 48% Today and I think he will go lower tomorrow.

Don't think Gallup can prop him up that much.

Would love to see the partisan ID they are using. Probably democrats +15.

If that's the case, why the hell do you keep blaming Obama for the deficit?

The answer is when Reagan did it, it was patriotism. When Obama does it, it's marxism.
