Message: [QUOTE="WahoosHoops, post: 1711919, member: 5762"] Oh , politics. It's too late at night to get into all of that. Reagan was an interesting guy - trickle down economics and star wars, and he did cut a lot of things but dramatically increased spending net net - military mainly) and pushed the USSR into essential surrender. But he wasn't the social conservative that a lot the R's wanted him to be. So the story goes, that's why GHWB, who was seen as a moderate on social issues, had Dan Quayle forced upon him as VP so that the social conservatives had someone in the White House. That didn't work out well later, etc. [/QUOTE]
