There are significant differences between RWR and GWB notwithstanding (apologies to the Port Authority bridge that shares that particular acronym :-P ). Reagan was not engaged in a "war on terror" on our present scale; he also did not borrow heavily from foreign countries; there was no NAFTA or any other such trade agreement; outsourcing had not reached pandemic proportions; Reagan was far more adept at foreign relations, I daresay; and although Reagan claimed to be a fan of the "free market", he nonetheless did not offer the level of protectionism and corporate welfare to the super-rich that they currently enjoy. Reagan also didn't give the EU a reason to unify quite rapidly, nor to engage in a single currency . . . |
