OH please. Lay that line of horse shit on someone else. I voted for the man twice. He was a good and decent president but his presidency was a mix. Reagan had his failings too and only a moron who is utterly ignorant of our recent history buys into the Reagan mythology bull shit.
Reagan's legacy won't be for economics. Most of what he tried failed and his one significant success, controlling inflation via the Federal Reserve, was masterminded by a Carter appointee and he left this nation with a mountain of debt. Reagan may have created wealth for the all ready wealthy but he did nothing for the average tax payer but to stradle them with debt that has still not been paid off.
Reagan didn't win the cold war either. The architect for winning the cold war was Truman who developed the strategy of containment by which Soviet Imperialism eventually collapsed (Why do you think historians refer to the successful US strategy for containing the Soviets as "The Truman Doctrine" and not "The Reagan Doctrine"?). Reagan made significant contributions to containing the soviets, as did all his predecessors coming after Truman.
Reagan's greatest accomplishment was in opening a dialogue with the Soviet Union to negotiate the destruction of nuclear arms. By doing so he greatly reduced the nuclear arms race, the potential for nuclear arms proliferation and the threat of nuclear war to both sides. An accomplishment all Americans, but the far right, appreciate and which they try to ignore because it contradicts their isolationist "Go It Alone" cowboy foreign policy.
It was things like this on which Reagan's legacy stands and not some bogus mythology based upon a pack of lies.
