Ronald Reagan

This article seemed pretty fair.

For my part, I never liked Reagan's policies. However, it was very fashionable in the college town I grew up in to pillory him. So I may have been unduly influenced by my environment. I certainly didn't believe in 'trickle-down' or 'supply-side economics' (which Bush the 1st famously called 'Voodoo economics', famously queried on 'Ferris Bueller...').

On the face of things, he seems similar to our current President Bush: military build-up, against big government, but expanding government and spending.

I'd love to get the Stokes' take on Reagan, preferably in an extended format over at Kith and Kin.
