No. Reagan TRIPLED the Debt as a % of GDP. Yes.
Heritage foundation = far right propaganda Just look at their sponsors, BP,chevron,big ag, GE, military industrial, etc.. The only good think Reagan ever did was remove tax loop holes (ie raise taxes), it still wasn't enough to offset his cuts so he blew up the debt. And the only thing we got for it were the seeds of the great recession that all are suffering with now.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
