also, since obama said he's going to hold off on cap gains tax increases due to the economy, doesn't that also put a hold on his tax cuts to the middle class?

Here's what I don't get. Don't Republicans believe in less government involvement and less government spending (thereby reducing taxes)?
Then, why is it that when the last two Republican Presidents got into office the national debt skyrocketed? This isn't a slam against Bush and Reagan as much as it just a question. Is the answer simply Cold War spending(Reagan) and 9/11, Iraq, economy(Bush) ?
