Sure.
But, with a War, one has to ask "Was it necessary?"

I believe removing saddam Hussein from the world
stage was necessary. And never forget that senators
Kerry, Clinton, and many many other democrat
congress critters voted FOR the invasion.

You keep squawling that the Reagan tax cuts reduced
tax revenues. I recently posted an article which
says that while Reagan cut the rates, he also
eliminated many tax exemptions - effectively raising
the taxes on many who used to 'scam' with them.

Say what you will. Reagan's policies got U.S. out of the carter stagflation.

But my original premise was that deficits are caused
by spending more money than one has to spend. A sad
state of affairs this country has been guilty of
since Johnson was in the White House.

"...deficits are caused by spending more money than one has to spend."

You mean when you lower taxes and then try to spend the Soviet Union into ruin like when St. Ronald was in the White House? Or when George W. Bush lowered taxes even further and then started two wars (one illegal and the other questionable) and not including the costs in the annual budgets but instead demanding serial emergency funding bills that 'charged' it all on the country's 'credit card' as it were, eh?
