Assistant: It’s hard to say what the worst thing was.  He had an impact on the economy, and many people became very rich, and he also cut a lot of social welfare programs that benefited poor people.  You could consider those things to be the bad things that he did, or also the things that he didn’t do.  If you’re asking me to pick just one thing, I might say the recession that happened during his presidency, in 1982.  A lot of people in this country lost jobs, and a lot of families lost their homes.


Human: What was the worst thing reagan did?

Assistant: So that’s a tricky question because the worst thing that President Reagan did was probably create a new Cold War by increasing tensions with Russia. But a lot of people would say that’s still the best thing he did, because it had the unintended consequence of leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
