"He won the cold war!

I love Reagan, he's by far the best president that I believe I will ever see in my lifetime, but Reagan did not win the cold war by himself, he pushed it over the edge, but you can no more say that he WON it, than you can give sole credit for the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, to the people who landed in Normandy.

It was a war, many fought, all helped.

The issue at hand, however, was rationalizing the disparity between Reagan and GWB's spending on the basis of military expenditures (which weren't even included in that original graph). Clearly, that rationalization doesn't hold water when Reagan had to contend with similarly compelling military requirements.

Take care Luis. Now that I'm an honorary Constipated And Ticked Off the wife and I are going to go out and celebrate.

Be seeing you around.

"...with similarly compelling military requirements."

And I obviously need to swing by Burger King and order a Whooper...it's going to take me a while before I can fabricated anything like this.

Later guy.
