Reagan accelerated the USSR's collapse. The fact that his buildup lead to the the fall of the Soviet Union is purely coincidental, he was aiming for military supremacy, not to force their economy to collapse. In fact, the US was surprised by the whole thing because according to their estimates, the USSR should've been in better shape.
Anyways, getting back to the original topic, I'm glad something is being done about the deficit. You can say the Democrats had a lot of pork, but at least they had taxes to offset what was spent. Bush just spent and spent while simultaneously lowering taxes. Republicans ceased to be a part of fiscal conservatives in the 80s.
