Ya gotta wonder.

Bowser — 10/17/2002 7:44:05 PM (archived)

If communism is such a poor economic system, why would it have taken Reagan spending so much on arms to "break" it? One would think it would collapse on its' own. I mean, if it were that bad.

Folks seem to forget. The USSR lost 20 million people in WWII, and from Poland to Stalingrad and Moscow a "scorched earth" war was fought. The Russians didn't leave anything when they retreated, and the Germans destroyed whatever the Russians overlooked.

And, a modified communism seems to be working in China.

So why did Reagan spend all that money on now obsolete weapons, and the now obsolete but -oh-so-beautiful ISS?
