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.
