Is ronald reagan our most overrated president?

despite the get tough patriotic tone lets examine the record. trickle down reaganomics led directly to a recession. he destroyed unions and started the wave of "ceo paradise" with unlimited power, excessive greed and coruption.he fostered a patriotic attitude that went to far, allowing an arrogance and acceptance of racism past and present. his second term was especially brutal with the iran contra scandal, the unattended crack and aids epidemics and the erosion of our enviroment and infrastructure. he clearly exbihited signs of advanced alzheimers while still in office.the cold war was won in the 1970s when our economy,chess (yes bobby fischers win underminded soviet intellectual advances)the nasa space triumph and most important the soviet decision to invade afganistan.Our decision to invade iraq may undermind our superpower status in case you don't make the connection. in summary the conservative worship of president reagan is unsubstaniated.
