[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1039650, member: 2189"] [B]Re: Teamsters magazine cover "If Mitt Romney wins, we all lose" Who are you voting fo[/B] Well, let's look at actual results so we can all enjoy how much Reagan cuts gov't spending and made the world all perfect again. 1981' Total Federal Receipts $599 billion Total Federal Outlays $678 billion 1982' Total Federal Receipts $618 billion Total Federal Outlays $746 billion 1983' Total Federal Receipts $601 billion Total Federal Outlays $808 billion 1984' Total Federal Receipts $666 billion Total Federal Outlays $852 billion 1985' Total Federal Receipts $734 billion Total Federal Outlays $946 billion 1986' Total Federal Receipts $769 billion Total Federal Outlays $990 billion 1987' Total Federal Receipts $854 billion Total Federal Outlays $1.0 trillion 1988' Total Federal Receipts $909 billion Total Federal Outlays $1.06 trillion So government spending in the the 8 years of Reagan was cut by 63%? Smug and sarcasm are understatements. Federal Receipts went up in the same period 65% so can we extrapolate that the 2% difference in receipts and outlays was the basis for the spending cuts claim? I mean no where else can one twist these numbers to mean a cut in spending ever took place. If you use that logic, Jimmy Carter only raised spending by a whooping 1% and he's the measure of socialism upon whom all else are measured? We also can say that Reagan grew gov't as measured by spending 63% larger than what Carter did yet we rail Carter as socialist and Reagan as Captain America? [/QUOTE]
