Facts show otherwise.
Reporters continue to re-write the history of the 1980s to match the liberal view that Reaganomics made the rich richer and the poor poorer as tax cuts combined with defense hikes to make the deficit soar. Here are two examples and how they measure up to the facts. I think there's concern that we're getting into a situation where we're going to have to pay for these tax cuts over the second five years from 2002 out, and that's gonna cramp the government, have even less money for spending and less money for programs. Even after adjusting for inflation, revenues grew by 20 percent. It really cramps taxpayers.
