Will Mcain be able to lower the deficit and reduce government spending?

Question

Few remember any more that 1979 and 1980 were the nation’s worst economic years since the Great Depression. Reagan saved America from Jimmy Carter economics: he brought inflation down from 13.5 to 4.1 percent; unemployment, from 9.5 to 5.2 percent; the federal discount rate, from 14 to 6.5 percent. Under Reagan, the number of jobs increased by almost 20 million; median family income rose every year from 1982 to 1989. It was the greatest peacetime expansion in American history. Charitable giving more than doubled, to more than $100 billion in 1988.

But the deficit grew huge, much in part due to the expensive defense spending. Government spending under Bush has been astronomical. I am a conservative republican but it seems like my party fails to reduce government spending. what are readers opinions?
