What makes Reagan and Ike better than TR, Washington, and Lincoln?
Lincoln? I struggled to put him in there. He was an unstable sociopath who manipulated enough people to make it that far. Ronald Reagan's advocacy for the free market and peace through strength makes him the best on my list. He understood that with capitalism and a free market, a socialist country CANNOT compete because it is not possible for socialism to grow an economy. We defeated the USSR because of capitalism. If not for Reagan, they would've taken over our country by the time Bubba stumbled along.
The USSR would have fallen anyway, but Reagan did hasten it along to the tune of putting us 4 trillion dollars in debt.And no Genius the USSR is 50 years behind us militarily. Ya remember what we did to the Iraqi army in the first Gulf WAR. Well where do ya think they got there equipment from? Bingo the got it from Russia. And that was there top of the line. We used to study the Russian equipment when I was in the army and its a joke.
