This exposes the fraud of Reagan and conservative con-artists
The USSR was bankrupt by 1979...a year before Reagan was elected ...the reason they sought reformers in the Kremlin. Reagan spent like a drunken sailor and tripled US debt beyond all historical measure and the conservative scam is to make people believe that Reagan planned to "bankrupt" the Soviets. Sure...just like Obama is bankrupting Al-Quaeda in a REAL war...not some phoney "cold war".
As Reagan's poll numbers dropped like a rock after getting caught trading arms for hostages, he went abroad to pretend to be a part of the already crumbling Soviet Union, which went down because of the Soviet's war in Afghanistan, Polish Solidarity, the Pope, and reformer Mikael Gorbachev. His conservative friends and frauds have spent and are still spending millions to re-write the history of this great con-artist who should have died in jail.
