[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1182230, member: 7966"] While I agree with what you are implying here, Reagan did not double the size of government. I am no fan of Reagan because the National government increased by 0.1% of the GNP during his presidency. He also pushed a lot of government costs (programs) from the National government down into the State and local governments. Therefore, the net effect is that the National government increased spending by about 20% during his presidency ... much of that in defense spending. Russia could not spend as much as the US on Defense and so he caused the fall of Russia more by economic means than ideological. [/QUOTE]
