Some two thousand years ago, the Roman satirist Juvenal wrote the prescient words: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" This article, purportedly a "fact-check" piece, shows how carefully one has to watch the checkers as well as the checked!
The article does get most of the facts right, and even quotes our President, Don Hillger. But it certainly makes a ridiculous fuss about Reagan. What difference does it make what Reagan did or didn't do, in view of the fact that practically every U.S. President between Ford and Bush pushed the program, as the article confirms.
