Reagan promised:
- to decrease taxes
- to improve the economy
- to restore faith in the nation
- to make the US military stronger
In his inaugural address in 1981, Reagan said, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." He talked much about lowering taxes and reducing the role government played in solving people's problems. He pushed for huge tax cuts in 1981 ... but then the government deficit soared and Congress (with President Reagan's signature) passed laws raising taxes again in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1987 -- undoing much of the original tax cutting that had been done in 1981.
During Reagan's presidency, there were improvements in the economy and strong positive national feelings. But while Reagan talked about smaller government, federal government expenditure got bigger during Reagan's presidency, as it did under all presidencies in the second half of the 20th century. It's hard to promise smaller government and at the same time increase military spending (which was a Reagan priority). Federal government spending has gone up by about 2.3% (on average) under all presidents since World War II. It just depended on what programs they spent their money on. For Reagan, the priority was military spending.
Ronald Reagan promised Americans that he would lower taxes, boost the economy, restore faith in the nation, and strengthen the US military. So, options (B), (C), (D), and (E) are the correct answers.
What did Ronald Reagan promise to the Americans?
Reagan stated in his inauguration address in 1981, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." He made a lot of noise about lowering taxes and limiting the role of the government in fixing people's issues.
He advocated for massive tax reductions in 1981 but the federal debt skyrocketed, and Congress approved laws boosting taxes again in 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1987, reversing much of the original tax reductions enacted in 1981.
During Reagan's administration, the economy improved and there was a strong sense of national pride. However, despite Reagan's rhetoric about smaller government, federal government spending increased throughout his presidency, as it did under all presidencies in the second part of the twentieth century.
It's difficult to propose smaller government while increasing military spending (which was a Reagan priority). Since World War II, federal government spending has increased by around 2.3 percent (on average) under each president.
