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.

Reagan was just as good at don't tax but spend anyway as GW is.

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.
