But more poignantly, Reagan ran a massive deficit during a boom time. That Obama runs a deficit during the worst recession in two generations is only a soft criticism, esp. since many of the shortfalls are coming as a result of continuing the policies of his predecessor instead of, say, raising taxes, ending Medicare Part D, and pulling out of Afghanistan and Iraq much more rapidly than any Republican would deem healthy.
