David Stockman is a name that tickles your memory.
Director of Budget and objector to the Reagan go along adminstration, I say go along because they never got the political or economic problem in hand. Focused on Russia.
I would say that Reagan was a mixed bag–lousy on budget and debt, good on foreign policy/cold war.
Not a perfect president by any means–consider Beirut for example, which energized the fanatics.
