Care to support your claims with some proof?
Just because you say so does not make it fact.

(Yawn)
Jim, you act like a boring child repeating a senseless question.
But the fact you're accompanied by so many alikes makes it necessary
to go on....
These aren't just claims or statements, they are facts.
You can look 'm up....

I'll try to enlighten you (mission impossible iii)
What is a fact?
Gorbatsjov was the person who had the right intentions up front and
grabbed his chance to stop a dynasty of dictators and reform with all
respect due to human values. He luckily had the chance during the last
days of a "week" man like tsjernenkov.
Whatever president of he us, Eastern Europe would have changed like it
did.

I'll also tell you what a (dumb and manipulative) statement is.
The statement that "it was Reagan who had scared the russian crooks so
bad that Gornatsjov had no choice but to abandon the reign of evil and
become friends with the great world leader".
My goodness, this is funny.... And to know that there are people who
actually believe that.... Alzheimer kicks in hard and early I
guess.... ....



You want facts?

Fact: Reagan inherited an economy from Carter with double digit inflation,
double digit interest rates and gas shortages.



Fact: Ronald Reagan's tax cuts resulted in a financial boom with government
revenue substantially increasing during his 2 terms.


Fact: Reagan cut federal spending as a share of the GDP almost 1% during
his 2 terms.



Fact: Reagan is the only president in the last forty years to cut
inflation-adjusted non-defense outlays, which fell by 9.7 percent during his
first term.



Fact: Reagan cut the budget of 8 agencies out of 15 during his first term
and the budget of 10 out of 15 during his second term.



Fact: Reagan brought the USSR to its feet (financially) with them trying to
compete with our Strategic Defense Initiative and a continued space program.
This was one factor in bringing out the collapse of the USSR.



Fact: Reagan was one of the most popular US Presidents in history, getting
525 of 538 electoral votes and 59% of the popular votes in the 1984
election.



How about 'dem apples Len?



And all done without an attack on you or an insult to you.
