What are you on, Larry? Reagan was a fantastic president. He totally outdebted the Soviets with his tax cuts for the wealthy and uncontrolled military spending. There was no way for them to keep up with our massive debt or our incredible military technology, such as the Star Wars missile defense system. Yeah, giant lasers!

Reagan floated above, but was ultimately responsible for, nasty power games in which ordinary citizens were just pawns.
