Is this failure? If we didn't adopt such a "get-tough" position, the
USSR would be building more and more very expensive missles, and we
wouldn't be. So the federal deficit would be less, but we would have
been in a very dangerous world situation.  I think that some financial
problems and a balance of terror are much preferable than lower
interest rates and a gross imbalance of terror in favor of the USSR...
