was Ronald Reagan just a quote-farm who didn't know what he was talking about...

...when pontificating? he sure had a lot of "good" (sic) quotes: "Government isn't the solution, Government is the problem"

yet...he expanded the federal deficit by 10% and increased spending by 1.2 TRILLION dollars.

or this one "Communists read Marx and Lenin, Anti-Communists understand Marx and Lenin"

that is like saying that if one reads Shakespeare, you become a playwright. thing is, due to Reagan's ambivalent, synonymous appropriation of the terms "socialist" and "communist" in many speeches, he had not a clue what he was talking about himself.

was Reagan just a stupid man (but gifted actor) who spouted quotes because they sounded good?
