that identified the Democratic Congress and Tip O'Neil as the counterforce against Reagan tax cuts which would have ultimately decimated the Federal government.

Tax revenues actually increased during Reagan's 8 years.

As did the budget deficits!

Republicans love to spend - they just don't want to pay for it.

Democrats get the bill.

Reality is they are the party of "Eat and Retreat"...nothing more than a gang of under-developed teen-age malaprops trying to "dine and ditch" the American public...order up some nice juicy tax cuts, ignore that they DO NOT pay for themselves and then stick Democrats with the bill while screaming about the deficit and the children and the future....

Obviously, the lamestream media is going to attack hapless Donny Littlehands when he totally contradicts himself like that. The way past this is to not release the text of his prepared remarks ahead of time.

Just watch: That will be the administration's solution, rather than do any research when preparing his speech.

Hell, there's nothing that a big ol' honking tax cut for the wealthy won't fix. If it doesn't work, the tax cut wasn't big enough.

Sometimes when he speaks and sometimes after. I was wondering if other channels would do this. A certain other channel that shall remain nameless was doing this about five years ago.
