First off, Reagan was fucking terrible. All he did was spend money on useless bullshit to force the USSR to spend more on defense. Remember Star Wars program? Gorbachev wanted to end the nuclear race, but Reagan would not give up his star wars program.
The U.S. was running a surplus before Reagan, then after, we were forever in debt, till this very day.
Just watch untold history of the US and you will see what I mean. Actually Carter started all the shit though. Reagan just made it worse.
