Reagan used our capacity to spend to win the Cold War. I'm glad that he did it so effectively and in a virtually bloodless fashion. In my mind domestic liberalism is as insidious as global communism (the former is a subset of the latter). I'm willing to use the power of the American purse to extirpate the enemy within. Once that's done we can easily put the country back on track.
Reagan spent on Defense and was forced by a Democrat congress to trade for domestic spending.
There is absolutely NO similarity between the Gipper and the current Republican regime.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
