When Reagan took office tens of thousands of soldiers were on foodstamps. Equipment was WW2 and Vietnam era. Yes, the budget increased. But you're wrong on government employment. The numbers speak for themselves.

1980 4,965 in thousands.
1981 4,982
1982 4,972
1983 5,039
1984 5,088
1985 5,256
1986 5,228
1987 5,301
1988 5,289

Thats a 300,000 increase. Now, explain the other 20+ million jobs. hahahaha

And your right, the deficit was out of control. I've spoken in digust of that myself. But you refuse to acknowledge the extreme growth of our economy, unprecidented job growth in both numbers and % of population. Drastic drops in interest, inflation, jobless rate....

Its undeniable. As is the fact that you are young and inexperienced in the world.
