He was indeed a disaster for anyone who believes that larger government
represents some sort of solution to the ills of man.

As to your opinion of his tenure, the consensus of professional
historians and scholars differs from yours. I prefer to agree with the

He was certainly a disaster for anyone who thinks that a multitrillion
dollar national debt - in 1986 dollars - was a thing worth avoiding.
Likewise, a disaster for anyone who feels that a clean environment is
superior to a filthy one.

Yes, he faced down the Soviets using (some would say abusing) the
superior GDP of the US. At the time, a big deal. Historically, of
somewhat less importance, and not without long-term ramifications.
