The role of government and how much the government should tax and spend are legitimate issues where people can and do have honest differences. Republicans and Democrats have always disagreed on how much the government should interfere with the capitalist private sector. Reagan believed that if we unshackled the nation from the web of government regulation and taxation, the hard work and ingenuity of the American people would grow the economy and in time balance the budget.

Revenues come from people working and investing.
Inflation came down, economy grew, and we grew out of the debt. We grew out of it, Governor. Yes, that is exactly what Ronald Reagan said.
