I like Reagan, but his defense spending changes enabled the huge increases in DOD budgets from his tenure moving forward. Defense spending has skyrocketed since.

He was dealing with the most evil country this world has ever known. We needed a strong military at the time.

I knew it was David Stockman before I even clicked on the link.

He chickened out and couldn't take the heat when Reagan was carrying out the promises he made.

It's not as if Stockman was blindsided.

He has no credibility. None.

And made us the greatest military superpower in the history of the world. NOBODY really wants a piece of us. We need to ramp that shite up even more. No such thing as not being badass enough. Fact...no country in the history of the world has been invaded for being tooo badass.
