Krugman thanks it was
True. I think many do, including many here.
To start, I'd say that he lowered taxes and increased public sector spending via a large military buildup. But he also subsequently raised taxes post-crisis, which could also be considered Keynesian.

He didn't raise taxes enough to balance the bloated military spending, that was the whole point of Reaganism.
In what ways would you bullet that Reaganism was nothing more than Keynesian economics?
