Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980 on a platform of reducing taxes, government spending, and regulation of the economy. Known as "Reaganomics", his economic policy sought to stimulate growth by cutting taxes for businesses and individuals. Critics argued it would primarily benefit the wealthy and expand budget deficits. Reagan also increased defense spending and escalated Cold War tensions, labeling the Soviet Union an "evil empire." This military buildup contributed to the eventual collapse of the Soviet economy. The Iran-Contra affair damaged Reagan's image when it was revealed that arms had been illegally sold to Iran to fund anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua. However, Reagan left office in 1989 as one of the most popular U.S. presidents,
There are two leadership styles of President Bill Clinton - an initial style that pushes numerous policies with little priority or accommodation, and a later more measured style that focuses on a limited set of goals while considering political realities. Clinton's leadership combines a passion for policy details with strong political skills, driven by his intelligence and verbal abilities. However, his early style lacks discipline and focus, and fails to establish an effective organizational structure.
The Combat Party was formed in 2001 after 9/11 out of a desire to increase national security and counter anti-American sentiment worldwide. Its candidate for president is Captain America, a superhero born on July 4, 1917 who fought in WWII and the Cold War. If elected, the Combat Party would take a hardline stance against terrorism, reject the existence of global warming, and support defining marriage as only between a man and a woman. Captain America's cabinet would include the Terminator as Secretary of Defense, Tom Ridge as Secretary of Homeland Security, Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State, and Bill Gates as Secretary of the Treasury.

Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, defeating incumbent George H.W. Bush. As a moderate "New Democrat," Clinton passed some domestic reforms but failed to enact health care reform. Republicans led by Newt Gingrich capitalized on dissatisfaction with Clinton and won control of Congress in 1994 on a platform opposing Clinton and big government. Clinton's presidency was marred by personal scandals that led to his impeachment, though he remained popular and was reelected in 1996 due to strong economic growth.
The Bill Clinton Era the 1990s and the new millenniumBoutkhil Guemide
The Presidency of Bill Clinton has been an important era in the history of the US. Clinton is best known of his economic policies; namely, Clintonomics which produced a huge surplus of the budget. In foreign policy, Clinton is best known of the Engagement and Enlargement which relied on building of a new world order based on both Democracy and Freemarket economy.
Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) was the 40th President of the United States. He had a career in Hollywood before entering politics. As President, he met with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev several times during an era of dramatic change in the USSR, including the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Reagan survived an assassination attempt in 1981. His presidency saw the introduction of glasnost by Gorbachev in 1988, which gave new freedoms to the Soviet people.
George Washington was the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. His cabinet included Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of Treasury, and Henry Knox as Secretary of War. Washington established important precedents such as the cabinet system and neutrality in foreign affairs. He warned against political parties and foreign entanglements in his farewell address.
Ronald Reagan utilized both his formal presidential powers as Commander-in-Chief by ordering troops to invade Grenada and appointing the first female Supreme Court Justice, as well as his informal power as an actor and communicator to promote his ideas directly to the American public through televised speeches and interviews. He also fulfilled ceremonial duties as Head of State such as throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game while working with Congress in his role as Chief Executive to pass major tax reform legislation.
The document contains a questionnaire about early American history and government. It includes questions about precedents, the president's cabinet, the electoral college, common jobs in 1790, US capitals, important rivers, the Appalachian Mountains, George Washington's cabinet members, the Democratic-Republican party, the first president and vice president, early economic problems and their solutions, interpretations of the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton's national bank proposal, Thomas Jefferson's opposition, George Washington's neutrality in European wars, the Jay Treaty, the Neutrality Proclamation, mentions of slavery in the Constitution, Washington's views on slavery, and the purpose of his farewell address.

The 1980s saw major changes under President Ronald Reagan's presidency. Reagan implemented supply-side economics through tax cuts and reduced government spending. This led to economic recovery and lower inflation rates. However, Reagan also greatly increased defense spending and pursued an aggressive anti-communist foreign policy, heightening tensions with the Soviet Union. Reagan backed anti-communist rebels in Latin America, deployed peacekeepers in Lebanon who were later attacked, and was embroiled in the Iran-Contra affair arms scandal. However, Reagan developed a strong relationship with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, negotiating nuclear arms treaties and easing Cold War tensions.
President-elect Donald J. Trump will enter the White House having promised to radically alter United States foreign policy, with ramifications for Americans and the world.
But it’s not yet clear how. Mr. Trump offered vague and sometimes contradictory proposals during his campaign, with few of the typical details or white papers. Voters, foreign policy professionals and the country’s allies are all, to a real extent, left guessing.
Here, then, is a rundown of what we know about Mr. Trump’s foreign policy ideas and what some experts say about their feasibility and likely ramifications.
The document provides information about the United States elections that will take place in 2016. It discusses that the presidential election and elections for all 435 House seats and 34 Senate seats will occur. It also notes that 12 state governorships and other state and local elections will be contested. The presidential candidates from the two main parties that are seen as most likely to win are Donald Trump for the Republicans and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats. Their backgrounds and potential priorities if elected are also summarized.
This document provides an overview of American political parties. It begins by defining a political party as a group that organizes to win elections, control government, and influence policy. It then discusses the two major American political parties, the Democrats and Republicans, as being election-oriented. The document outlines some of the key differences between the two parties on issues such as social programs, taxes, abortion, the environment, and more. It also discusses the reasons why the US has developed a two-party system and challenges facing third parties.

Ever wonder which president was TRULY the best? An economist, an economics writer, and a noted graphic designer present an unbiased, and often surprising, analysis of how our modern presidents—from Ike to G.W.—have performed on more than a dozen critical national issues, including GDP, personal income, health care, crime, national security, education, family values, and more.

Born in Nebraska, Gerald Ford attended the University of Michigan and Yale Law School. As President, he pardoned Richard Nixon which hurt his approval ratings. He faced two assassination attempts. Ford used his veto power frequently as inflation rose. In foreign policy, he continued SALT talks and signed the Helsinki Accords while the Vietnam War ended under his presidency. He lost reelection to Jimmy Carter in 1976.
After World War I, the United States turned inward and focused on domestic issues under the presidency of Warren G. Harding. However, the Teapot Dome Scandal involving bribery rocked Harding's administration. Calvin Coolidge succeeded Harding and presided over economic prosperity but pursued isolationist policies. The Red Scare led by J. Edgar Hoover targeted radicals, anarchists, socialists and communists through deportations and arrests. Immigration restriction acts of the 1920s aimed to preserve American jobs by sharply limiting new immigrants.
The document discusses the process and qualifications for electing the US president. It begins by outlining the constitutional qualifications to be president, including being a natural born citizen over 35 years old. It then covers the election process through the electoral college and primaries/caucuses, nomination at party conventions, and campaigns. Reforms to the electoral college are debated, including moving to a popular vote or proportional allocation of electors.
The document summarizes several major economic and political events during the Reagan administration:
1) The savings and loan scandal resulted from decreased regulation of banks under Reagan which led to risky lending practices, real estate market collapse, and inability of banks to repay investors.
2) On October 19, 1987, known as "Black Monday", the stock market fell 508 points in a single day, the largest single-day decline in US history, erasing over $1 trillion in investor wealth.
3) During Reagan's presidency, the national debt increased by $2 trillion due to large budget deficits, ensuring future generations would have to work harder to pay it off. Income inequality also grew during this time.

President Carter faced many domestic and foreign policy challenges during his presidency from 1977-1981. Domestically, he tried to tackle high inflation and unemployment by developing a national energy policy focused on conservation and alternative energy. However, inflation continued to rise. He had some environmental successes but the Three Mile Island incident increased concerns about nuclear power. In foreign policy, Carter recognized China, pursued arms limitations with the USSR, and brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. However, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Iranian hostage crisis undermined his presidency and contributed to his loss in the 1980 election.
Jimmy Carter was born in 1924 in Plains, Georgia. He served in the Navy for 11 years before becoming a peanut farmer. He was elected Governor of Georgia in 1971 and President in 1976. As President, Carter faced a struggling economy with high inflation and unemployment. He created new government departments and pursued diplomacy and human rights abroad but lost reelection in 1980 due to economic woes.
Ronald Reagan's presidency from 1980-1988 pursued conservative policies like tax cuts, deregulation, and increased military spending. This approach, known as Reaganomics, initially boosted the economy but increased budget deficits. Reagan also took a hard line against communism and spearheaded efforts that contributed to the end of the Cold War. George H.W. Bush continued many of Reagan's policies as president from 1988-1992, overseeing the dissolution of the Soviet Union and leading a multinational coalition in the 1991 Gulf War to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait.

From the “age of limits” to the age of reagan 1thompsonvaliant
This document provides an overview of major events in the United States from the Ford administration to the election of Bill Clinton in 1992. It discusses the presidencies of Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush, including key policies, elections, and international events like the Iranian revolution and first Gulf War. The rise of the New Right and Reagan's economic and foreign policies are also summarized.
Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. He previously served as the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975. As president, Reagan implemented economic policies like tax cuts and deregulation known as "Reaganomics" and increased defense spending. He also worked to improve relations with the Soviet Union and helped end the Cold War. However, his foreign policy in Central America was controversial. Reagan survived an assassination attempt in 1981. After leaving office, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and died in 2004.
Reagan's 1980 election resulted from a dramatic conservative shift to the right in American politics, including a loss of confidence in liberal, New Deal, and Great Society programs and priorities that had dominated the national agenda since the 1930s.
Domestically, the Reagan administration enacted a major tax cut, sought to cut non-military spending, and eliminated federal regulations. The administration's economic policies, known as "Reaganomics", were inspired by supply-side economics. The combination of tax cuts and an increase in defense spending led to budget deficits, and the federal debt increased significantly during Reagan's tenure. Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (which simplified the tax code by reducing rates and removing several tax breaks) and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Reagan also appointed more federal judges than any other president, including four Supreme Court Justices.
Reagan's foreign policy stance was resolutely anti-communist; its plan of action, known as the Reagan Doctrine, sought to roll back the global influence of the Soviet Union in an attempt to end the Cold War. Under this doctrine, the Reagan administration initiated a massive buildup of the United States military; promoted new technologies such as missile defense systems; and, in 1983, undertook an invasion of Grenada, the first major overseas action by U.S. troops since the end of the Vietnam War. The administration also created controversy by granting aid to paramilitary forces seeking to overthrow leftist governments, particularly in war-torn Central America and Afghanistan. Specifically, the Reagan administration engaged in covert arms sales to Iran to fund Contra rebels in Nicaragua that were fighting to overthrow their nation's socialist government; the resulting scandal led to the conviction or resignation of several administration officials. During Reagan's second term, he sought closer relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and the two leaders signed a major arms control agreement known as the INF Treaty.
The document compares the leadership approaches of FDR and Hitler during the Great Depression. Both came to power appealing to unemployed masses and implemented work programs to curb civil unrest. They centralized control over industries and wages. While FDR taxed businesses for new programs, Hitler banned farm sales and transfers. Both leaders relied heavily on propaganda to consolidate power and promote a sense of crisis and national interest to justify their means. The document suggests Hitler closely studied and emulated FDR's policies and communications strategies during this period.
Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. He was the first and only actor elected to the presidency. During his two terms in office, Reagan pursued policies of cutting taxes, increasing national defense spending, and seeking "peace through strength" in foreign policy. The primary strength of Reagan's presidency was his communication skills, which earned him the nickname "The Great Communicator."

After Watergate, Gerald Ford assumed the presidency but was unable to curb inflation or the economic difficulties of the time. His pardon of Nixon hurt his popularity and he lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter. Carter emphasized human rights but faced challenges like inflation, fuel shortages, and the Iran hostage crisis.

Chapter 20 Resurgence of Conservatism.pptxRyanMcElroy13
This document provides an overview of events during Ronald Reagan's presidency from 1980-1992, including his economic policies known as "Reaganomics", increases in military spending and the national debt, deregulation of industries, Supreme Court nominations, and foreign policy decisions. The Iran-Contra affair is summarized as a scandal involving secret arms sales to Iran and funding of Nicaraguan Contras in violation of Congress. Reagan's interventions in Central America, including support for El Salvador's government and funding Contras to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista regime, are also covered.
The document summarizes opposition to FDR's New Deal programs during the 1930s. There were three main forms of opposition: 1) some felt the New Deal did not go far enough to help the poor, led by figures like Huey Long, Francis Townsend, and Father Coughlin; 2) others in the business community and Republican Party felt the New Deal was too interventionist and undermined free markets; 3) the Supreme Court struck down some New Deal programs as unconstitutional until FDR's court-packing scheme led the court to become less obstructionist.
Theodore Roosevelt pushed for significant domestic reforms during his presidency from 1901 to 1909. He aggressively enforced antitrust laws, passing regulations like the Pure Food and Drug Act. Roosevelt conserved millions of acres of federal lands and established the National Forest Service. In foreign policy, he took an interventionist approach and helped negotiate an end to the Russo-Japanese War, winning the Nobel Peace Prize. His successor, William Taft, prosecuted antitrust cases at an even higher rate but was seen as more conservative. Roosevelt split from the Republicans to run as a third party candidate in 1912.
The document provides information on several key events that led the United States to enter World War 1, including the naval blockade by Britain cutting off supplies to Germany, Germany sinking passenger ships like the Lusitania without warning which killed Americans, and the intercepted Zimmerman Telegram proposing a German alliance with Mexico against the U.S. After declaring war in 1917, the U.S. mobilized its economy and workforce through agencies that rationed food, fuel, and materials for the war effort. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans migrated north for new industrial jobs during this period known as the Great Migration.
Ronald Reagan had a successful career as both an actor and politician. He served two terms as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Prior to his presidency, he was a Hollywood actor for 30 years and then served as the governor of California from 1967 to 1975. The document provides biographical details about Reagan's early life, education, career path including his multiple attempts to gain the Republican presidential nomination, and some of his accomplishments and policies as president.
Theodore Roosevelt pushed for significant domestic reforms during his presidency from 1901 to 1909. Some key reforms included trust-busting large monopolies like Northern Securities Company, establishing regulations for food and drug safety, expanding conservation of public lands, and advocating for labor rights. In foreign policy, Roosevelt sought to project American power and influence globally through expanding the navy and intervening in unstable countries in Latin America and Asia to promote U.S. interests. His successor, William Taft, carried on Roosevelt's progressive policies but was seen as more conservative and lost support. Roosevelt then ran as a third party candidate in 1912, splitting the Republican vote and allowing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win the presidency.
APUSH Lecture Ch. 30-31 Nixon to Reaganbwellington
The document provides an overview of major events and issues during the Nixon and Ford presidencies from 1969-1977. It discusses Nixon's election and pledge to end the Vietnam War through "Vietnamization," his opening of relations with China, and his domestic policies. However, the Watergate scandal erupted and Nixon resigned in 1974 due to his role in the cover-up. Ford then pardoned Nixon but lost reelection in 1976. The Vietnam War continued despite Nixon's efforts, and the 1973 Oil Crisis had major economic impacts.
Presidents of the United States Part 4a of 8Monika Somogyi
President Reagan's first term focused on cutting taxes and government spending to stimulate economic growth. His policies included a 25% tax cut for individuals and corporations, increased military spending by 25%, and reduced spending on social programs and regulations. However, this led to increased budget deficits and national debt.
Slide 8 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016WestCal Academy
This document provides an overview of various topics that will be covered in a political science course on Western political thought, including the Homestead and Transcontinental Railroad Acts of 1862, Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier thesis, interest groups and political parties in California, industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle". It also discusses the California Republican and Democratic parties, campaign rhetoric, candidate images, and how Hollywood portrays political parties.
This document provides an organizer for structuring an argument. It suggests including a claim, evidence to support the claim such as facts, figures, and statistics, and reasons why readers should accept the claim. It also notes that other perspectives on the subject should be acknowledged and responded to.
This document provides a checklist for persuasive writing that includes introducing the topic and opposing views in the introduction, supporting the opinion with three paragraphs of reasons backed by facts and opinions in the body, and restating the position and suggesting action in the conclusion. It also includes questions to evaluate if the writing is convincing, uses logic and facts, addresses flaws in opposing views, makes readers think, and emotionally engages readers.
The document discusses the main rules for using commas in sentences, including placing commas to separate items in a list of three or more items, setting off introductory phrases from the main clause, and separating two complete ideas joined by a conjunction. Commas are also used to offset quotations and to show the relation between a word and a following noun phrase.
This document provides rules for using quotation marks, including that they come in pairs at the beginning and end of titles, dialogue, and quotes. It notes that quotation marks surround dialogue, some movie and song titles, and sometimes irony. It also specifies punctuation placement in relation to quotation marks, such as commas and periods inside and question marks/exclamation marks inside or outside depending on if they are part of the quote.
The document provides ideas for lesson plans for a history class that incorporate different interactive activities and multimedia elements. It suggests using yes/no and multiple choice questions to quiz students on historical events, as well as debates, forums, and profiles of historical figures. For multimedia, it recommends embedding images, videos, and documents related to history, such as artifacts, art, propaganda, maps, and timelines to enhance student learning. The ideas are intended to engage students through interactive and multimedia methods of discussing and learning about historical people, events, causes and effects.
Common core-state-standards-argument-writingmrsstrong-clay
This document provides a rubric for evaluating argument writing based on the Common Core State Standards. It evaluates elements such as clear claims with reasons, evidence to support claims and reasons, explanation of information presented, conclusion, formal tone and style, organization and transitions, and mechanics such as spelling and grammar. For each element, it provides descriptors to evaluate the writing at different levels from needs improvement to mastery.
This document provides a rubric for evaluating online discussions with criteria including addressing the question, substantive nature of posts, organization and clarity, and mechanics. Posts are scored on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being "needs improvement" and 4 being "mastery". Criteria are defined for each score, with higher scores requiring more thoroughly addressing the discussion topic, adding depth to the conversation, clear organization, and careful proofreading.
This document provides examples of strong sentence starters for responding to other people's comments or points in a respectful discussion. It also provides a brief biography of Catlin Tucker, an English teacher who has nine years of teaching experience at the high school level and has a master's degree focused on creating a safe classroom environment to support student learning. She now works with Collaborize designing educational resources.
The teacher is introducing the use of Collaborize Classroom, an online discussion platform, to replace some pen and paper homework. Online discussions will give every student an equal voice, help build community, and provide practice communicating respectfully and collaboratively online. Students will develop skills like critical thinking, reading, writing, and problem solving by being exposed to different perspectives from peers and learning at their own pace. Unlike traditional homework where students work independently, the online platform allows students to benefit from others' responses and engage in deeper thinking about topics through questioning and building on ideas from varied viewpoints. This style of learning prepares students for digital communication needs in college and careers.
The document outlines 5 C's for successful peer editing: 1) Compliment peers by identifying strong elements of their writing. 2) Critique instead of criticize by giving tactful advice to help peers grow. 3) Provide concrete suggestions by being specific about needed improvements rather than vague notes. 4) Clarify by asking leading questions to guide peers to correct errors themselves. 5) Contemplate suggestions by taking time to thoughtfully comment on unclear or underdeveloped areas to most help peers improve.
The document provides guidance for students on how to construct rich replies to their peers' posts in an online discussion. It recommends that students (1) make "I" statements to share their own perspective, (2) use their peers' names when replying, (3) avoid generic compliments and instead reference specific content from the post, and (4) keep critiques focused on the content rather than the person by explaining their different perspective. Examples of effective replies are also included.
This document provides 8 strategies for continuing online discussions by inviting further responses from peers. The strategies include proposing a new idea for feedback, asking for clarification, inviting different conclusions, posing follow-up questions, and presenting controversial statements to encourage disagreement. Examples of discussion prompts are given such as asking if others reached different conclusions or made interesting connections to the topic. The overall goal is to foster engagement and expand the conversation.
This document provides a checklist for effective classroom management. It includes questions about having procedures in place for transitions, student behavior, work time, student work, and dismissal. The goal is for teachers to anticipate everything that could occur each day and establish clear routines and expectations so that the class runs smoothly. Key aspects addressed include having signals to get student attention, rules for entering the class, what students do with completed or late work, and expectations for group work to keep students on task.
Teachers should clearly describe acceptable classroom behaviors and have students demonstrate and practice them. This includes defining different voice levels for various activities like group work, reading time, and discussions. Teachers should also provide ongoing, specific feedback to students about their behaviors and regularly remind them of classroom rules and routines. When a student misbehaves, the teacher should address it privately and have the student reflect on why their actions were inappropriate and how to improve their behavior next time.
This document appears to be a blank note taking template intended for students to fill in details about a topic from a source. The template includes sections for events, people, key terms, facts, and quotes related to the topic being summarized from the source.
Spider webs are constructed by spiders to catch prey. The spider places strands of silk in a circular pattern from the center outward and adds concentric circles, spirals, and radial lines to form its trap. Once prey is caught in the sticky silk, the spider wraps it up for later consumption.
The main idea of the document is about identifying the main idea. In just 1-3 sentences, it should capture the overall topic and most significant details of the full text. The document appears to be about a tool called a "Main Idea Wheel" which may help readers identify and understand the central topic that a passage is trying to convey.
This flower worksheet asks students to identify the 5 W's (who, what, when, where, why) in five petals and the how in the sixth petal of a flower drawing. Students are directed to illustrate a story in the center of the flower and decorate it as they choose.
This document provides instructions for a student to draw 8 pictures representing main events in chronological order. The student is prompted to provide their name and date at the top and given space to draw the 8 pictures of events in sequential order below.

4. Humble Upbringings
• -Ronald Reagan was the son of an Irish American
shoe salesmen. He grew up in Dixon, Illinois.
• After he finished college he became a sports
broadcaster. 5 years later he won his first
contract for a Hollywood movie. For the next 25
years, he continued to star in more than 50
movies.
• *His acting career allowed him to perfect his
speaking skills.
5/15/2013 4
6. Reagan Enters Politics
• Reagan was extremely
conservative. He was an
excellent speaker and
went all around the
country giving
motivational speeches.
While on these speeches,
he listened to Americans
complain about how
taxes were making their
lives difficult.
• *Wealthy businessmen
began to take interest in
Reagan. They eventually
convinced him to run for
governor of CA. The
businessmen backed his
campaign and he won. 10
years later, he won the
Republican presidential
nomination.
5/15/2013 6
7. Reagan, the candidate
• Reagan was the oldest candidate to ever be
nominated for president.
• He was a Democrat like his father until he
worked for the campaign to elect Barry
Goldwater.
• Reagan used the recession and the hostage
situation in Iran to his advantage to defeat
Jimmy Carter.
5/15/2013 7
8. Reagan, the candidate

now than you were 4 years ago?”
• Reagan appealed to Conservatives, anti-
Communists, anti-feminists, fundamentalist
Christians, southerners, and white working-
class Democrats.

of Reagan’s candidacy.
5/15/2013 8
9. The Rise of Conservatism

Conservative Christian values of the New
Right.
• The New Right didn’t want to simply contain
Communism, they wanted to eliminate it
entirely.

5/15/2013 10
12. The 1980 Election
• Ronald Reagan promised to cut taxes and
increase defense spending (military). Reagan was
also anti-abortion. This position helped him win
the votes of social conservatives. He won the
presidency by a landslide.
• When Reagan entered the presidency,
unemployment was high and so was inflation. To
boost the economy, Reagan cut taxes. His theory
was that if the business owners had to pay fewer
taxes, they would be able to hire more workers
and get the economy going again.
5/15/2013 12
14. Effects of Trickle-Down
• Liberals were concerned because they believed
that cutting taxes for the business owners would
only benefit the wealthy, not the rest of the
workers.
• Cutting taxes increased the budget deficit (means
we spent more $ than we actually had).
• The national debt was seriously increased under
Reagan. Even so, his popularity helped his vice
president (George H. W. Bush) win his
presidential election.
5/15/2013 14
15. Cuts have to come from somewhere
Reagan was successful in
helping Americans overcome
inflation, but the percentage
of poor Americans increased
under Reagan.
To try to pay for some of these
cuts, Reagan cut funding for
social programs like welfare,
food-stamps, the school lunch
program, Medicare payments,
unemployment, student loans,
and housing assistance.
• The distribution of
wealth became more
unequal under
Reagan.
5/15/2013 15

shot by a would-be assassin in March of 1981.
5/15/2013 16
17. Deregulation of Govt.
• -Reagan believed that
excessive government control
was also to blame for the
problems in the economy. He
signed an executive order that
ended price controls on oil and
gasoline. Gas prices actually
fell after this.
• *The FCC (Federal
Communications Commission)
stopped trying to regulate the
cable industry.
• *The National Highway Traffic
and Safety Administration
reduced requirements for air
bags and higher fuel efficiency
cars.
• He deregulated the airlines
causing ticket prices to fall to
their cheapest rates.
• *He deregulated efforts to
make corporations reduce
pollution and reduced the
requirements for safety checks
on chemicals and pesticides.
• -Unemployment was reduced
under Reagan.
5/15/2013 17
18. Let’s Check for Understanding!
• One main difference between
liberals and conservatives is that,
generally,
A. Conservatives believe in
government regulation of the
economy while liberals do not.
B. Liberals believe in government
regulation of the economy

19. Reagan Oversees a Military Buildup
• In addition to making
serious reforms in the
United States regarding
domestic policies, Reagan
also set his sights abroad.
• He took more active
stance against
containment. He
considered the Soviet
Union to be an “evil
empire” and he did
everything in his power to
defeat them.
5/15/2013 19
20. Peace through Strength
Reagan named his
campaign “Peace through
Strength”. He ordered the
largest military buildup in
American history (during
peacetimes).
The cost for this buildup
was $1.5 trillion (to spread
over 5 years).
Reagan was secretly
hoping that Communist
Russia would spend so
much money trying to
keep up with the United
States that they would
bankrupt their country
and cause their system to
fall apart….essentially
ending Communism there
5/15/2013 20
22. Fighting Terrorism
• Reagan also tried to stop
other nations from
supporting terrorism.
When the African nation
Libya supported a terrorist
bombing in Berlin
(Germany), the U. S.
launched an air attack on
Libya (Gaddhafi- the leader
that we recently killed was
in power). The raid killed
about 37 people and injured
around 200.
• Increasing the military
created new jobs in
industries that supported
the nation’s defense.
• Although Reagan ran on tax
cuts and balancing the
budget, the budget deficit
(the amount we owe other
countries) went from $80
billion to over $200 billion.
5/15/2013 22
23. The Reagan Doctrine
• Reagan’s plan to
support other guerilla
groups who were
fighting to overthrow
Communist
governments.
5/15/2013 23
24. Aid to Afghan
-In 1979, the Soviet
Union invaded
Afghanistan.
A group of Afghan guerillas
known as the Mujahadeen
launched an attack against
the Soviets.
-Reagan sent $570
million to aid the
Afghan guerillas.
The Soviets found
themselves in a lose-lose
situation (it was similar to
the U. S.’s position in
Vietnam).
The Soviets
found that they
could not defeat
the Afghan
guerillas.
The war caused
their economy
to be financially
strained.
Nine years later,
they withdrew
their troops.
5/15/2013 24
27. Nicaragua and Grenada
After Afghanistan, Reagan became concerned about the Soviet’s control in
Nicaragua.
At one time, Nicaragua had been ruled by a pro-American dictator.
He had been overthrown by a rebel group known as the Sandinistas.
The Sandinistas set up a Socialist government and started accepting aid
(money) from Cuba and the Soviets (our enemies).
5/15/2013 27
28. Reagan vs. Democratic Congress
Although Reagan was
passionate about fighting
Communism in Nicaragua,
Congress was not.
They passed the Boland
Amendment to specifically
restrict the CIA and the
Department of Defense’s
involvement in Nicaragua.
Two years later, they voted to
strengthen the amendment
and make it nearly impossible
to assist the Contras in
Nicaragua.
5/15/2013 28
29. Going Against the Grain
• Reagan went against Congress and authorized
the National Security Adviser to do whatever
he had to do “to help these people keep body
and soul together”.
5/15/2013 29
30. Iran & Iraq go to War
• In 1985, Iran and Iraq went to war.
• Iran secretly asked if the U.S. to sell them
weapons.
• At the time, a group of Iranian terrorists were
holding Americans hostage in Lebanon.
• Reagan said that he felt like “he had a duty to
bring those Americans home”. Negotiations
were made with the Iranians.
5/15/2013 30
31. Origins of the Iran-Contra scandal
• By sending weapons to
Iran, the Reagan
Administration violated
two of its promises to
the American people.
• The first one being to
never negotiate with
terrorists and the
second one being
violating our embargo
to Iran.
5/15/2013 31
32. Fog of War
Reagan had always been admired by his staff for his
honesty.
This decision to sell weapons to Iran in exchange for
hostages divided his administration.
The U.S. shipped more than 1500 missiles to Iran.
The Iranians did release 3 of the American hostages,
but they quickly replaced them with 3 more.
5/15/2013 32
33. The heat is on!!
• When a Lebanon newspaper got word of the
news and printed it, Reagan went on t.v. and
denied that any such operation had taken
place.
• 1 week later, he had to go back and admit to
the American people that we had sold
weapons to Iran, but it wasn’t in exchange for
hostages.
5/15/2013 33
34. Iran-Contra
• By this time, Americans began to distrust what
Reagan was telling them.
• Another scandal erupted immediately
following this.
• It was discovered that the Iranians had paid
the U.S. $30 million for the weapons, but only
$12 million had actually made it to the U.S.
• The rest had been sent to Nicaragua to help
the Contras fight Communism there.
5/15/2013 34
35. The Cover-Up
• When this was released
to the press, Oliver
North of the National
Security Council,
explained that he had
been under the
impression that this
deal had been
authorized by the
president.
5/15/2013 35
37. Facing the Music
In the aftermath, 14 people were
charged with cover-up crimes.
Although most were sure that the
orders had to have come from
Reagan, there was no direct
evidence linking Reagan to the
controversy.
• The Iran-Contra scandal
would be investigated
for 8 years.
• When Reagan’s vice-
president George H. W.
Bush won the
presidency, he
pardoned most of those
that were convicted.
5/15/2013 37
38. Still a Legacy
• The Iran-Contra scandal
seriously damaged
Reagan’s image, but he
still left office as one of
the most popular
presidents the U.S. had
ever had.
5/15/2013 38
40. Arms
Control
Since the Soviets had
nuclear weapons in
Eastern Europe,
Reagan decided to put
weapons in Western
Europe.
-This paved the way
for a “nuclear freeze”-
peace movement-
they wanted a halt to
the deployment of any
nuclear missiles.
Reagan offered to
remove his missiles if
the Soviets removed
theirs. The Soviets
refused
5/15/2013 40
42. Star Wars
• Reagan pushed for the
development of
weapons that could
intercept and destroy
incoming missiles.
• This new program
would come to be
called STAR WARS.
5/15/2013 42
43. Mikhail Gorbachev
Mikhail Gorbachev became the new leader of the Soviet Union.
He did not wish to engage in an arms race with the United States.
Gorbachev and Reagan had a series of meetings designed to
reduce their nuclear weapons.
Reagan challenged Gorbachev to prove that he really meant
business about seeking peace by tearing down the Berlin Wall. He
did.
Reagan and Gorbachev signed the Intermediate Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty in 1987…essentially ending the Cold War.
5/15/2013 43
46. Check for Understanding
Critics of Reagan’s economic policy
referred to it as “trickle down
economics” because they
• Believed that the plan would
work, allowing wealth to “trickle
down” to the middle and lower
classes.
• Ridiculed the idea that much
wealth would “trickle down” to
the middle and lower classes.
• Believed that the plan was messy
and would cause a great deal of
wasteful government spending.
• Agreed that the richest people
would share their wealth with
the neediest in society.
