Then to the extent the delay in catching up took place under Reagan, the
people catching up were benefited even MORE under Reagan's 3 tax brackets
and lower rates than if the catch up happened under Carter.  Bracket creep
happened because of having many brackets packed tightly together.  Reagan
cut the brackets down to 3 and they were spread far apart, therefore
bracket creep due to inflation was virtually eliminated.  Your points in
your reply don't change that fact.

I never said anything different from this.  I didn't say anything about
this.  Its irrelevant to your FALSE claim that tax receipts went up under
Reagan because of inflation.  That statement is just patently inaccurate
and false.

So ?  And it was Congress' debt not Reagan's.  A democrap congress' debt
for the most part.
