Lessons from Reagan:
1. That "reaganomics" which involves reducing government spending, reducing taxes, and less regulation, is best for the economy. Reagan greatly improved our economy and his policies created 20 million jobs during his presidency.
2. Other countries can be intimidated. Reagan's "Star Wars" program showed the soviets they couldn't compete with America.
3.Parties can come back from political disgraces. After scandals with Nixon, Reagan reasured the public's faith in the republican party.
4. The president needs to be a strong leader who can build consensus. Reagan was blunt and said what needed to be said. He called the soviet union out for what it was, "an evil empire", in this great speech:

5. “If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
6. No matter how amazing of a president you are, haters are still gonna hate.
