spending is in the hands of the house, not the president.
Reagan tried to force cuts in spending by starving the beast. Because the house was democratically controlled, it didn't work.
When Newt controlled the house, spending was cut.
I understand that not being old enough to remember it first hand means you have to hear it second hand so it makes sense that you believe what you believe.
The facts, however, are much different.
