Not true.
The budget deficits from the Reagan tax cuts of 1986 actually reduced the deficits from $221.2B in 1986 to $152.5B in 1989 the year Reagan left office as follow:
*$149.7B in 1987.
*$155.2B in 1988
*$152.5B in 1989

However, Government Spending in my view is irrelevant to a discussion on Tax Cuts.
