Raygun decided to 'win' the cold war by increasing DOD spending.... Yet as a matter of history and the logistics involved in any war between the west and USSR.. technically the war was lost years before. The only way to stop any Soviet advance through Europe was nuclear weapons and that was M.A.D.
NATO just did not have the manpower to stop the Soviets.
In the process Raygun spent the US economy.
The tax cuts he gave his masters put the US economy in a state of spiralling debt that through loyalty and fear of said masters.. No President till Obama has dared face.
... And yet the Republicans who still serve (thanks to decades of bribery) such masters will not cross them.
......... Should America be called the USA or DSA... as it's not united.. just a matter of who's pulling the strings.
