Wasn't Sununu one of the Reagan deficit architects back in the 80s?? Theory was to spend your way to reelection...?

No, that was the Democrat Congress theory.

Reagan's tax cuts improved the economy to the point that even with the lower rates, revenues to the Treasury doubled. The deficit came about when Congress tripled spending. (Granted, much of that was a trade-off; Reagan had to accept it to get the military budget he wanted.)

Are you saying the GOP and the DNC decided to work together and expand government?  Shocking  :o
