RANCHO DEL CIELO, Calif. — Arriving at the Reagan Ranch in California’s Santa Ynez mountains is like stepping back in time to the 1980s. The 40th president’s Western White House is privately owned by the Young America’s Foundation, which invites high school and college students to visit and learn about the Reagan legacy. There are no exhibits or velvet ropes. Everything remains as it was when the Reagans lived here, from Nancy’s handwritten instructions for operating the TV remote to the jar of “Brim” freeze-dried coffee in the kitchen.

If you want to spend 40 billion dollars, even if you think it is a good cause, you have to cut spending somewhere else. Reagan did not have the economic problems we have today. We weren’t 3 trillion in debt. Rand Paul is an isolationist, but he is correct on spending.
Nothing wrong with being an Isolationist.
Much better than being a Neo-Con or Globalist, or Establishment type.
McConnell is barely a Republican and has repeatedly trash talked Trump and rolled out the red carpet for Dems like an assistant Democrat. Now he attacks Rand Paul as being an isolationist when Paul aligns with the Founders more than McConnell does.,
Rand Paul wanting oversight over 40 billion doesn’t make him an isolationist.
Aligning with the Founders, who repeatedly argued against long-term entanglements with foreign powers, isn’t being an isolationist.
The Founders argued in favor of alliances that were short-term, issue-specific, and in our interests, not unending warmongering with NATO which has went rogue in that it bowed before Odumba, as an example among other warmongering examples, and offensively attacked Libya when no NATO members were threatened and on unproven allegations that Gaddafi was going to kill 10k of his own people.
“Nothing wrong with being an Isolationist.”
Depends on how far you want to take it, doesn’t it?
If you’re a real isolationist that means you wouldn’t want any foreign allies, since they could drag you into foreign wars. And without any foreign allies, the country would be vulnerable to a hostile foreign alliance. So, I’d say that is something wrong with a strict adherence to isolationism.
McConnell is Uniparty
Or, an analogy referring to a story posted earlier today,
McConnell is as Republican as ELCA is Lutheran
Isolationist? Ain’t it funny how you feel when you’re finding out it’s real.
Sickening article. Bringing up Reagan to support their corruption, bloated Fed.gov spending, and war-mongering.
Beware of the Washington Post giving advice.
The Wapo hated Reagan.
Agreed. But we are not doing that so it's just monopoly money. That's why we are seeing serious intlation.
I think Zelenskyy is following Reagan’s hostile engagement advice to a T:
“We win; they lose.”
