****************
That the federal deficits so much deplored by Gov. Cuomo were built
while Tip O'Neil and his redistributionist House Democrats remained
in control of the nation's purse strings. That deficits didn't
become an issue with Democrats until Ronald Reagan and a rebellious
public began to deny the government further tax increases.
****************

Interesting views of the deficits, that.  According to a chart published
a few months ago in TIME, every one of Reagan's budgets has had a deficit
more than three times the previous record deficit, whereas every one of
Carter's deficits was less than the preceding year's deficit (including
the deficit bequeathed by his predecessor).

It's really amazing how Reagan apologists keep trying to accuse the
Democrats of causing the deficits, when the deficits were being reduced
during the period the Dems had the White House and both Houses of Congress
but leaped upward as soon as Reagan had control.

Maybe you think Canadians have no business commenting on such matters
of "internal" US politics -- but although we can't vote, your misgovernment
hurts us probably more than it hurts you.

"No taxation without representation!"   But how do we secede?
