I notice how your article is careful to say "non-defense" discretionary spending. Why should defense spending be excluded from the budget discussion? Or should we continually raise defense spending by 25% each year?

Reagan's budget management was the worst of any president ever. He increased the national debt by the largest percentage of any president ever. The national debt more than tripled under Reagan. Even Bush, without ever vetoing a single spending bill, did not triple the national debt.
