Mr. Reagan oversaw dangerously tight relations with the Soviet Union (he was lucky Gorbachev accommodated his blustering; a hardliner Premier wouldn’t have), one of the highest poverty rates in US history (“trickle down” doesn’t work), and industry deregulations that will continue to impact the health of environment, our banking system, and the quality of our news media for decades to come. He seemed like a nice guy, but he was a horrid President.
