I'd be interested in reading any source that can show
Reagan, and the two Bushes weren't the worst deficit producing Presidents
in the past 50 years.

Spoken like a true conservative

... There have been
Presidents and Legislatures who have created little or no deficit, yet
harmed the economy and the society through $billions worth of wasteful,
pointless, non-productive, failed programs designed only to placate some
group of whining potential voters.


For example, the Faith-Based Initiative which is a gov't hand-out (which
BTW has never been audited AFAIK) to churches, so they'll harangue the
flock to vote Bush/Cheney?

Maybe you can come up with some other examples.

It certainly causes long-term harm to the nation & to the economy to
hand out billion$ worth of wasteful, pointless, non-productive, failed
rpgrams designed to placate lobbyists who've donated heavily to certain
campaign funds.
