re: #428 Nimed

My position is that: a) you’re right on these issues and b) Reagan didn’t suck a little, he sucked a lot. He was lucky to catch the Monetarism train, and he managed what would turn out to be the last years of the USSR pretty well. That was it. The rest varied from unremarkable to remarkably bad.

You know the true story of why the USSR fell right? It wasn’t Reagan. It was Perestroyka, Poland, the Pope, and people within the Soviet Union. Reagan didn’t have much to do with why the USSR fell. It fell because the people their chose for it to fall. Reagan just had good writers and an agent.

Funny how ministers of propaganda work. Some of them went on like Rumsfeld and Cheney. Ron Paul also worked for Reagan.
