Remember that deficit in the late 80s/early 90s that was one of the key reasons why Bush Sr. lost re-election to Clinton?

Well, that came from Reagan's Supply-Side Economics, in cutting taxes and not cutting anything, and in fact increasing the military budget. The problem was that the heavy cost from the economic prosperity in the 80s landed on Bush's doorstep, and Clinton/GOP Congress had to cut alot of shit to be not as much in the red.
