The reason I think Reagan is really good is the fact that he is
showing the world that the U.S. is sick of being pushed around.
You might think that the 'home front' is not being too well
taken care of, but I think if you look at the points I mentioned
above, we are not that bad off over all.  (Many college students
will complain about lack of funding etc. well, let me tell you,
if you need it, then it is there...that is how I am going through
this place!...and if you remember all the talk about students
defaulting on student loans, they are all from Carter's term
(that, I can't explain) ).
