In his time as POTUS, FDR fought war on two fronts . . .50 years after FDR, Ronald Reagan fought war on two fronts also . . .
Add a third front to Reagan's war: The expansion of the federal government, which was started by none other than FDR himself.
I think Reagan was sucessful on this front as well, with all the deregulation he initiated.
I didn't mention it for good reason. Reagan didn't have any real success rolling back social programs related to FDR`s New Deal and LBJ`s Great Society. He did cut discretionary spending in his first three years and slowed the rate of growth of the federal bureaucracy overall. But even under Reagan, the federal government grew at a rate consistent with historical averages of recent years. Reagan's deregulation efforts were very significant and important in the reducing government intrusion. His major accomplishments remain, cutting income taxes, revitalizing and expanding the economy, winning the Cold War and a rebirth of the American spirit.
