You forgot to mention that Reagan compromised for $1.00 in new taxes for $3.00 in cuts. Reagan compromised and the taxes were raised but there were no cuts by the Dem congress...I don't blame the Repubs for not trusting the Dems when it comes to cutting expenditures;They're the "bread and circuses" party.
On Illegals, Reagan agreed to amnesty for roughly six million on the condition congress would appropriate the funds to secure the border and create a sustainable immigration program with guest workers etc...Once again, he was pwned by the Dems who got what they wanted, amnesty for all, and didn't follow through with their promises. Today, the Dems want amnesty for 12 million on the promise of securing the border and creating a better immigration process.
I don't blame the Repubs, fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice...shame on me.
