I was posting from my mobile device.  As for revenue under Reagan, I believe that it roughly doubled. 

 

the reason that we run deficits every years is because of baseline budgeting.  We have automatic increases of 8% in some cases.  6% GDP feels like nirvana in this country, anything over 3% is considered strong.  It's very difficult to grow the economy but with one session of congress they could appropriate 5 trillion dollars easily. 

 

Cutting taxes is one thing, we ultimately need to have someone in the executive that has the experience and the ability to cut the budget with common sense to allow our fiscal house to steady itself.  trump has talked about the penny plan, which is common sense and easy to sell.  I think that he will also lead the way in the general thought that it might not cost us 200 for a hammer.  Just saying!
