Yet, it is no myth that by Reagan’s military build up he crushed the Soviet Union who tried to keep up but couldn’t. Nor is it a myth that he reigned over the largest net gain of jobs in the history of the US. Low unemployment, low inflation and low interest rates - no myth there. And finally, it is no myth that Ronald Reagan took over during a time when the country was in terrible shape economically after four years of Jimmy Carter. He raised the hopes of the American people along with their standard of living. It truly was one of the most optimistic times in American history.
It’s no surprise that liberal writers want to destroy his legacy, but it won’t work. The American people understand how great Reagan was. That’s why in the very latest poll Americans rate Ronald Wilson Reagan as the greatest President to have ever occupied the oval office!
