To many government-run programs; to much spending!
how to develop budget
Reagan, being a conservative, had cut funding for federal programs like welfare and food stamps. However, after doing so he greatly increased funding for defense. This included research and development programs, weapon build-up, etc. The best way to understand Reagan's obsession with defense spending is by looking at his proposal to develop Star Wars. No, not the films, but rather a system of lasers that would detect and destroy any incoming missiles. So, to answer your question, if anything in particular led to the budget deficit, it was defense spending.

increases in the defense budget and steady spending on social welfare and entitlement programs.
The budget of United States Department of Defense is 530,100,000,000 dollars.
President Barack Obama sent Congress a proposed defense budget of $613.9 billion for fiscal 2013, Feb. 13. The request for the Department of Defense (DoD) includes $525.4 billion in discretionary budget authority to fund base defense programs and $88.5 billion to support Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), primarily in Afghanistan. Of the discretionary budget, $155.9 billion represents the Department of the Navy's budget request. This is a decrease of $1.4 billion from last year's baseline appropriation.
It is in the budget.
