The way the budget process works is that Reagan proposes a budget to the congress, which then modifies it and sends it back to the President for approval. All of Reagan's proposed budgets have included deficits BEFORE congress ever got a hand on them. The Republican Senate also has never produced a deficit free version. -- Sport Death, Larry Kolodney (USENET) ...decvax!genrad!teddy!lkk (INTERNET) lkk@mit-mc
