Absolutely, You have to look at the context of the times. The Carter years had us in trouble, and we had the Soviet Union to contend with. Reagan's peace through strength strategy (Unprecedented Defense spending) in my opinion bankrupted the Soviets in the cold war. We averted WWIII and came out smelling rosey compared to where Carter left us. It's scary to think where we'd be today if we wouldn't have successfully stood down the Soviet Union.
