Reagan wrecked the economy during his administration. At least that is the prevailing sentiment among some that I know. Surely government regs and policy can influence economics. Whoever is in office gets the blame, rightly or wrongly. Reaganomics and an ex wife bankrupted me. Reagan was all smoke and mirrors. He did manage to make people feel better and have a little more pride in some instances, with his folksy BS. Voters will continue to choose the ones who are the best con men. I would rather see the country run by a blue collar worker administration. Men who know hard work and have family values. Not rich fat cats who have never done an honest days work in their entire lives, but people will vote for whoever gives them the best spiel.
Massive Debt was birthed by Reagan (Regan). Never extinguished by the "Peace Dividend" of a wings-clipped Soviet Union. Squandered on the "World's Policeman" as Middle America got the jobs, livelihoods sold out to Foreigners (Free Trade) while the bill ($90 Trillion in Debt) for the Private MIC profits continues to be guaranteed by the dying American Taxpayer.
Reagan reacted to the severe cutbacks of the defense department during the Liberal years of Ford and Carter. But, because of the four year term in office, he tried to do it all at once, increasing the debt with defense spending. As you noted, that did lead up to 1991 and the break up of the USSR.
Well, we have a businessman back in charge, replacing a consummate politician. We Will see if his second chance is more productive than the first. A good sign is the MIC portion of the Deep State in a panic over Trump.
Businessmen are consumate politicians, devoted to profit alone. You can't run a nation on profit alone since many things have to be done that don't make a profit. And many things can't be done that DO make a profit.
Libertarians are children who don't want to go learn anything.
Trump the builder and developer, who also got a workout in all areas of the business per his dad, might be your best hope. I choose not to purity spiral about it.
I recall the 1980's as being overall pretty good. Reagan was re-elected in 1984 by a landslide, and his VP Bush followed right after. Not sure what you did during this time to get "wrecked", but most Americans prospered.
Here in western Wisconsin, the recession lasted probably until about 1985, when Cray Research opened more assembly plants. It was around 86 or 87 when I noticed that I had more money to spend on nice things.
Reagan and Volker raised interest rates to stem the double digit inflation that Nixon, Ford and especially Carter made happen. We had a major recession with real unemployment going to 12%. Once completed the job market filled in quickly, encouraged with MIC spending that drove up the debt. Democrats set off warning bells about the defense deficit spending and in 1986 tax bills we lost many of our deductions on Schedule B. I still consider that a major error of Reagan, giving the Liberal bums in DC more tax money.
And you still identify with the socialists who have created mayhem throughout the world. Take your Naziism, your government should be in control, socialistic bullshit and shove it all. A new world is about to dump right on your head, thank God.

Until D.C. is free, the USA will NEVER be free.
A hideous cancer on a once great nation.

Volker said, American wages are too high and must come down. And so it happened. Ronny was the first to legalize the wetbacks.
