    Well his policies led to the grestest recession in history.
    Deficit spending was required to ease pain. At least bush was smart enough to do that before he left office .

    Abject nonsense. Supply side leads to exploding deficits and debt, and concentrates wealth into the 1%. It has done this every single time it’s been tried.

    It is pointless to try and have a discussion with you as you will merely claim you have already refuted anything posted and refuse to answer direct questions to you. Your history of obfuscation well documented.

    The shift in policy came two years before when the Democrats including Senator Obama took the Congress and majority control and lame ducked Bush. Whatever was "handed" to President Obama was "handed" to him by his own party and himself.

    Reagan was elected in 1980. Supply-side economics is what allowed the debt to explode.

    Nope Democrat spending. Reagan requested less spending every year and Congress refused to accept most of his spending recissions.

    So the rich sp and money they dont have or are we admitting that everybody benefits from the tax cut?

    Are you really blaming Bush for the crash, because it appears that way and we both know that's patently false.

    Do they really? Democrats are proposing trillions of dollars in student debt forgiveness, medicare for all/expanded Obamacare, free college, green new deal, free daycare, and some are even proposing a jobs guarantee and UBI. Give me the GOP proposals that come even close to the cost of these programs?

    While it would be nice to force him to clean up his mess, I'm not sure if it would be in the best interests of the country; 8 years of a trump administration would leave us in a situation where it might take years to repair all of the damage that has occurred with our economy and our relations with the free world in general.

    I say vote him out and start fresh with a new candidate. What have we got to lose?

    Where do you disagree? After the Gingrich/Kasich rate cuts we had a 10% revenue increase which contributed to the budget surpluses. After the Bush/Republican tax rate cuts we had 15% record tax revenue increase and a deficit down to a paltry $161B. What's the fairy tale? Know what also isn't a fairy tale? Two years later under Democrat policies the deficit was $1,400B and stayed over $1,000B for the next four years.

    Thanks for posting thins graph. One can clearly note the two time points of the Reagan and GWB tax cuts, after each of which the debt exploded. Coincidence? Possible, but highly unlikely.
