All those years of extravagant spending by the Russians are directly related to Reagan's Defense budgets. They felt like they had to keep up and/or exceed our strength. Because their communist economy wouldn't support that strategy, they ultimately crumbled.
As for the funeral, yes he absolutely deserved it and America needed it. Admittedly, I'll have a problem when Clinton is burried if he is treated with all of the same pomp and circumstance; but the fact remains he was a President too and the Office of President deserves our respect with a state funeral.
