The point is simple, if you're a student of history. Substantial jump in debt as pct. of GDP was a direct result of Reagan's military buildup that was one of the major causes of the collapse of the Soviet totalitarianism.
This was done after years of neglecting military, which by the end of Carter's administration was falling apart.
