I went with just another politician but that doesn't really descibe where I'm at with RWR. I was draft age when Reagan was in and I felt at the time that he was quite insane. His rhetoric about economic freedom and whatever credit he gets for knocking the pins out from under the Soviet State are great positives. America regained her confidence in the private sector, a positive. Unfortunately, his military expansion, which gets credit for taking down the Russians, also laid the ground work for absurd levels of spending, debt (I know, I know Congress...) and military adventurism by his succesors. So now we have an enormous warfare/welfare state with great expansions in military spending to come and it follows that we get a Republican successor who buys into ferally (oops typo but its so appropriate I'll leave it) controlled education and apparently believes that government spending on stimulus packages is better than letting the citizens choose their priorities. In short, we now have two big government parties instead of one.
