Reagan took office almost 25 years ago. Since then, the nation has seen a steady, staggering expansion of deficit spending and debt -- except, of course, during the Clinton presidency.
My point? If your friend still believes that the GOP has even the slightest shred of a claim to being the party of fiscal sanity,* he is beyond having anything explained to him. He probably also believes that the earth is flat.
*This is not to suggest that the Dems have such a claim either. But tax and spend looks a hell of a lot better than borrow borrow borrow and spend spend spend.

Where do you think all the social programs and pork receptacles came from? Harding? Taft? Hoover?
I am all for fiscal sanity. Let's start by having a not so great society. Then move to the Flat tax, and get rid of the IRS. A lot of the SEC can go, another drag on business. Department of Education, bye bye. And so on. Of course the liberals created all this crap and it stands as testament to LBJ. Along with a lot of dead kids from the war he lost.
