Well, I don't think he was going to remain top 3, but that's neither here nor there. He did break with those who thought the Soviet economy was even marginally functional. The common wisdom is the CIA failed to see how bad the Soviets were economically, but that's not totally true. We knew it was bad, but ... how bad? Reagan went all out for "really bad," and he was right. He ushered in the new day of "We win, they lose."
His and Thatcher's economic view has run it's course. Supply side ain't working. He blew up the deficit, and the middle class slowly bled till today when it's a hemorrhage. The total world wealth is hugely increased. But, not so much for the benefit of mankind.
I thought then, and still think, he was a great leader. We thought Vietnam was something to be ashamed for. We failed, but it was a idealist effort to stem communism, which no one should have been ashamed of. He reminded us of what JFK said that we didn't need a wall to keep people in, and we still are a shining hill.
I couldn't vote for him though. I knew the budget wasn't balancing with the tax cuts and spending.
yeah. I voted for BushI THREE times, and Anderson. I sat out 84. I sorta wish I could say I did vote for him.Reagan is no myth. Reagan is legend and the standard by which all modern presidents are judged. Rightfully so.

I voted for Reagan twice and still respect the man. He revitalized a nation that was starting to doubt itself and reminded us that we were a great nation
I think he played his role in the fall of the Soviet empire exactly as it should have been played giving Gorby support and not exploiting the situation
I think the impacts of his supply side/trickle down policies are starting to be felt as they have destroyed the middle class and exploded our national debt
FFS, Reagan left office 27 years ago. The Bushes, Clinton and especially Obama are far more responsible today's economic problems.Reagan is no myth. Reagan is legend and the standard by which all modern presidents are judged. Rightfully so.

Too funny.Without Reagan, we would still be fighting the Soviets. If you could go back in time, would you take on chance on ANY other president who may or may not have taken the hard steps to weaken the Soviet Union to the point of collapse? That is all that matters.
More reason to implement a US holiday honoring President Yeltzin than Reagan. Look it up if ya don't get it, I'm not being paid to educate YOU.
Yeltsin came to power only as a consequence of the pressure Reagan applied.
lolBy comparison the neatest thing Reagan ever did was mention aliens in a speech.
Reagan forced the Soviets to commit too many resources to their military and nukes which was what bankrupted them and caused the internal transformation.
That had happened long before Reagan took office
Might as well thank Ike
Of course, collapse doesn't happen in only 8 years, but the critical part is at the end.

Nah, can't let that go. Since Reagan it's economic heresy to suggest taxing for social benefit. The deficits are structural because of his policies. "Starve the beast." The beast don't starve cause people like soc sec and ..... Reagan raised taxes .. over and over. It's just that supply side emphasized supply over demand/wages.FFS, Reagan left office 27 years ago.

So what? 27 years is a long time, most of which we've had Democratic rule. Reagan left an economy of almost uninterrupted economic growth for 2 decades. It's way too late to point fingers at Reagan.FFS, Reagan left office 27 years ago. The Bushes, Clinton and especially Obama are far more responsible today's economic problems.Reagan is no myth.

It was Reagan who totally revamped our tax structure and it is for the most part the tax structure we have today. His promises of trickle down did not pan out and created a redistribution of wealth that we still bear today

It seems the folks are discounting the fact that Reagan worked with a Democratic Congress, who share the accolades and failures of the Reagan Administration.
"27 years is a long time, most of which we've had Democratic rule." That'd be true if we didn't have separate branches of government. All totaled it's a wash. 15 years of Democratic presidents, 12 years of GOP presidents. Congress, we have had 15 years of the GOP and 12 years of Democrats.
