How about ending the Cold War, cutting taxes , lowering tax brackets , and engendering the massive , cross country roaday susystem, for starters ? Now, go do your own research; I usually get paid, and paid well, to tutor the ill / under educated . : - )
Actually, Republicans helped prolong the Cold War by giving foreign-aid to the USSR since the 1940's. It started during WWII and has continued until present day. It has included everything from cash payments to military hardware.
Although Republicans reduced taxes they did not reduce government. In fact, they've done nothing to reduce government since Warren G. Harding was president during the 1920's. Republicans run the printing presses to obtain additional money to spend. That's where the national debt came from. Inflation is a form of taxation. It creates additional money for the government to spend at the expense of the peoples' purchasing power. Federal budgets actually increase more with a Republican in the WH than a Democrat.
Thank goodness for Republicans or we wouldn't have an Interstate highway system. It's as though but for Republicans we wouldn't have such a system. Ridiculous.
