The prosperity was temporary though and came at the expense of the future. The reforms that Reagan/Bush made led to short term benefits but in the long term completely decimated American industry. The silicon valley empires that do remain are American in name only.

Continuity in what? Japanese buying up american businesses and real estate? cheap foreign electronics being imported and wiping out manufacturing jobs in the midwest? The massive amnesty Reagan signed to bring in cheap labor ended the GOP's 40 year dominance of California.
