You're right, they took Reagan's very good ideas, went too far with them, and turned our country into a deficit hog.
Only thing is, Clinton ended up signing - not vetoing - some of those bills the Reps wanted, so it IS accurate to blame both.
I simply blame Reps a little more because they say they want cuts, they say they want to lead, they say sacrifice is warranted, but they won't take the lead in sacrifice by cutting their own salaries and wages, they'd rather lay off the lowest paid...sometimes giving themselves increases... (just like many big corporate execs were allowed to do.)
