He was wrong, and almost ruined us with useless spending (phony weapons that turned out to be unneeded), These weapons effectively destroyed the Soviet Union, did they not? I don't think so. Soviet spending was mostly wasted on fake weapns (air craft carriers? Supersonic transports for the French to spook, etc.) Not a bomb was dropped or a bullet fired. Fake plywood weapons like their Krasnoyarsk Antenna would have done just as well and been much and cost only a fraction. Soviet was almost at good at shooting down civilian airliners as we were. But they were never a threat to the U.S. They worked badly against the Iraqis. Damage was badly exaggerated (especially the Patriots).

<<refusal to face up to welfare reform,>> What business does the Federal Government have in welfare at all? Read the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States : ... to Provide for the General Welfare! Remember some creeps wander all around the U.S. to leech on states that didn't birth them. I understand that some refugees even come from rural sinkholes like Indiana to modern states like Arizona and crowd into state universities excluding local Indios and hispanics who have paid Arizona taxes all their lives. Because of this, and to equalize burdens, the poor states have insisted that the rich contribute money to them for education and welfare, The Morrill act which helped Arizona State (and U Hawaii) to be established for the benefit of all residents of the U.S. has been around since 1863. I think you learned something of your profession at ASU? With your principles, I hope that you have repaid the investment in you that the U.S., Indiana and Arizona have put in you. <<or to fix the educational systems,>> I'm glad that the educational problems are exactly the same in Maine and Arizona so that one-size-fits-all government solutions can be equally applied.
