The only flaw I see here is that during the Reagan and Bush 41 years the Democrat Party held the Congress. Now I know that whomever is President signs the budget presented to him from Congress and it becomes "his", but in the end it may have more spending than a budget he may have presented.
During the Bush 43 years however, the Republican party was the Spending party, which some think besides having a weak candidate this election, was another reason that it lost seats in the Congress, and the White House.
