The comment about NASA winning the cold war is complete BS. Reagen won the cold war by increasing the defense budget and scaring the soviet union into submission. And by the way nearly half of the national debt cannot be paid, because they are in securities. I do agree with the part about leaving Clinton alone. He was not a bad president, but he was the most immoral man ever in the white house. The trickle down effect does work in the 80's the defense budget was tripled, and the tax rate was cut from 43% to around 35%, and the economy held on fast and strong. You cannot blame the economy on ANY party or ANY particular policy. A nation's economy follows a cyclic pattern. It would be naive to think that prosperous times are going to happen year after year. You have to take the good with the bad. Just my two cents
