Uh, Congress was democrat. Reagan had no control over the budgetary spending approved by congress.

... couldn't that also be said for tax cuts, btw?

Also the set-up assumes that you will always pay round dollars.

So if something costs $5.27 and you pay exactly, you can do it with one one note and three coins, but on an "efficiency" rating it says you have to use seven coins and is hence less efficient than the 1, 3, 11, 37 system which uses "only" five coins.

Or, say something costs $5.24, the efficiency rating says you need to use four coins to give change. You could instead use just two - pay a note and a quarter and get a penny back.
