If somehow we could combine Bush and Reagan together we would have the perfect leader!

My guess is Ronnie would smack G.W. on the back of the head if he were alive and given the opportunity.

Both were catalysts for change, but G.W. spends our tax money like a new england democrat. The answer to everything for him is more government.

Reagan progressive? Yeah, he pushed a lot of change thru as well, but he tried to push the country back to it's root. He reduced the size of the federal government and pushed power back to the states. He believed in trusting the people to spend the money they earned instead of allocating larger and larger chunks of it to the government to spread around to those too lazy or stupid to work and live within their means.

And foreign policy? G.W. pussy foots. This is where Reagain did use the federal government and tax money....he spent so much on building up our strength that the soviets went broke just trying to keep up.
