The House of Representatives, democratically controled for over twenty years, is the place where the final budget is decided. IF the democrats were so all fired, dead-set against deficit spending, they had every chance in the world to change the fact. Instead, they managed to load the budget with all kinds of schemes and spending items so that the true budget proposed by Reagan was inflated just to please themselves. Then they had the gall to point to the White House as the reason for the deficits. ************ So the reason that the Carter deficits declined from those of the previous Republican Administration was a Democratic plot to make the next Republican Administration look bad? Interesting theory, that. But they could have done it without tripling the previous record deficit, if all they wanted was to make Reagan look bad!! I suspect that the tenant of the White House might have had just a leetle bit to do with it ... No? Oh well, logic never gets one very far on this net. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt
