, 2:1612: “Reaganomics departed from the Coolidge record mainly in the mounting deficits of the 1980s and in their major cause—growing expenditures for the armed forces.” There is simply no evidence that the military budget grew in total dollars relative to the expenditures on “social spending” that accounted for the deficit.
