Brought Russia to its knees and helped usher in capitalism in a former Communist stronghold. I'll take that trade.
The buildup began under Carter in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.Biker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 6:21 pm Defense spending continued its downward trend during the brief Carter administration and picked up during the Reagan years

The policy began with Carter. In response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Doesn't seem much point going further into with someone who just runs away from his mistakes though. Your inability to admit error means you aren't actually capable of holding a discussion on anything.
Yes, one comes first. Then something called time happens during which something called bills can pass. Reagan continued and expanded Carter policy, my source for that is Ronald Reagan.Biker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 6:53 pmProposing a policy and actually enacting one are two very different thingsanalhamster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 6:49 pmThe policy began with Carter.

Yes, as I said at the start he continued the hell out of Carter's policy. He ran primarily on voodoo economics though.Biker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 7:58 pmYoure too young to actually remember but you need to understand that Reagan ran (twice) on rebuilding the military to combat the Soviet threat. Carter did not see the Soviets as a threat and only reacted to their hostilitiesanalhamster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 7:01 pmYes, one comes first.
