Yeah he was deep in that mess. Considering Rumsfeld’s recent passing there was a whole era of post WWII foreign interventionalism that some in the government could not see past.

The path before Reagan was the path of Jimmy Carter...Where was that path leading to
I don’t know. As I get older I realize that some things are right for the times. Where the failure is, is when new leadership comes along and don’t have true vision so they try to replay past leaders playbooks.
Republicans got caught up in this for decades. Everything was tax cuts and deregulation to the point they’re just braindead drones who are/were incapable of addressing issues without referring to the Reagan playbook.
The point is that the landscape is always shifting and Reagan met the landscape of his time relatively well. At least on some major economic and foreign policy issues.
Mr Snark doesn't seem to recognize that Congreff appropriates money, not presidents. Budgets that have been balanced have typically been from Republican Congreff's like the one under Clinton.
Bush and Trump had Republican Congreff's for part of their terms yet they never balanced the budget or cut the deficit like Obama and Clinton did.
Lol. How do you live through history and have no idea what is going on around you?
It really all depends on the president but the president usually gets what they want by making some concessions to congress. This is why the president sends over a budget request and it’s the starting point for the federal budget.
Thats also mostly in theory.In reality the president sets the agenda and budget that Congress works with.
