Actually that makes him one of the worst since it was all fiction. There was no real prosperity. Just increasing debt and really bad ideas and ideals. He just knew how to sell his bad ideas. All the reps nowadays took their acting cues from him and his pointless staged scenes, like "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall". And the "Star Wars" program (aka shooting missiles out of the sky with other missiles) is as stupid a concept as when the vikings thought they'd try making their helmets with the horns on the inside.
