I never stated that. His economic policies are the reason the US faced a recession (as well as a massive deficit).

Really ? I remember the Black Monday been caused by program trading, not Reagan's tax reforms ... 

All things considered I think Reagan was successful in reducing inflation and financially ruining the Soviet Union so I see these things as a plus in my book ... 

As for the spending deficit that on both parties equally since it's CONGRESS that controls government budgets, not the president ...

So Regan's economic policies didn't have any affect on the recession the US faced in the late 1980s? And why do you think congress had to pull the US into a deficit in the first place? 

 

As for the Soviet Union, they where already facing economic troubles in the early 70s... and the chernobyl disaster, as well as the crumbling of the union as a whole didn't have an effect? Yes, Regan's speech in Berlin was very touching, but its historical significance is blown way out of proportion...
