Not fact, but a barking dog's Looney Left *opinion*.

Fact: It was Gorbatsjow who caused things to happen. Reagan-fans tend
to place the emphasis on Reagan but please, gimme a break Gorbatsjow
was the only one capable of setting things in motion.

More Leftist lunacy.

Fact: Reagan started serious overspending to please the campaign
supporting industries (Star Wars).

That "overspending" brought the Cold War to an end. The Soviet Union
came to the realization that they could no longer to compete. Have you
seen those rusting hulks in their harbors and airports?

Fact: simultaneously: large tax reduction that would (in his advisors
dreams) would deminish the deficit. "Supply side economics", remember?

You must be a believer in Keynesian economics. You'd be better served to
read the brilliant works of Milton Friedman, recipient of the 1976 Nobel
Prize for economic science.

AKA Voodoo economics.

You must be a believer in the economics of liberal stagflation.

Fact: the remaining large deficit still exists and the rich became
richer.

The rich always become richer...it's a law of nature, like death and
