- That may have been Reagan's implementation, but it definitely wasn't
- his goal. Had he had unilateral control over the budget, it would
- have been balanced in year one.

- Talk about meanspirited. Reagan was not and is not senile. Quayle
- is not stupid. And Bush is not meanspirited, merely realistic and of
- a value system inconsistent with yours. (I'll have to agree about Carter.)

- apply unkind and inaccurate labels to them.
