Reagan talked the talk.
What Ronald Reagan proved is that even a 2nd-rate actor who co-starred with a monkey could play the role of President of the United States.
He did spend the Soviet Union into submission, but probably only accelerated the inevitable by 5-10 years. Your children will be paying for that - theirs will start to pay for GW's expenditures.
Aside from that, what did he do in foreign policy? He threw a temper tantrum at Ghadafi - a plan so lame that the French refused us use of their air space because they did not want to participate in what was obviously only a publicity stunt.
He also sent peacekeepers into Leabanon, and we all know how well that worked out.
IMHO, an objective history of his Presidency written 25-30 years hence will show him to be an average president.

I'll always be a fan for how he handled the air traffic controller strike.
