Reagan's economic policies were an unmitigated disaster. There were not one..but two major bailouts and multiple bank failures. It took the very pragmatic and very sound domestic policies of George HW Bush to steer the United States out of failure. But heck..the mythmaking continues unabated by the right..
Reagan also won the cold war you liberal ass wipe.Saving this nation billions of dollars.
Then why did he need the multi-billion dollar Star Wars missile shield if he ended the Cold War? Also, people tend to forget that if Reagan hadn't been lucky in that his Soviet counterpart was a moderate and not a hard-liner, the demise of the cold war might never have happened. Ronald Regan gets the entire credit, which is dumb.
because missile threats did not go away, hello, Nor Korea et al.
The ussr was bankrupt. they could not keep up which is what a large part of their platform counted on. We spent them over the edge. FORCING the ussr to deal with the missile shield is whats paramount, forcing them to have to account for it. Utilizing resources they did not have.
Mathias Rust should get kudos too, a small seemingly insignificant incident had HUGE effect.
it was a team effort but we were the prime movers.
