On the other hand, his deregulation, domestic spending restraint, and tax cuts helped lead to an economic boom that lasted two decades. Reagan was still able to eliminate many deductions and exempt millions of people with low incomes. He was also able to slow the pace of inflation. The supply-side economics…

    The mentality of the Cold War greatly affected the decisions made by the Presidents that held the office from 1950 to 1974. The main thought that prevailed from the beginning of the Cold War was containment. It was the main goal of the United States to contain the spread of Communism whenever possible. “Brinkmanship” was the first major policy that was employed by the United States in the effort to stop the spread of Communism throughout the world. President Eisenhower’s Secretary of State John Foster Dulles coined the term “Brinkmanship”, which simply stated means using the military to push things to the brink of war without actually going to war. This was often used to intimidate the Soviet Union into backing down during the early part of the Cold War era. President Kennedy would take a slightly more flexible stance in terms of retaliation should an attack occur. However, it wouldn’t be until President Nixon took office that the metaphorical waters between the US and the Soviet Union would begin to calm.…

I knew that I would ask either my parents or possibly grandparents, but the largest choice was who I really wanted to talk with. There was the person that would give me the short sweet and to the point answers or the person that would take me around the world and try and explain their answer before actually giving it to me. I eventually choose to talk to my parents as I felt that they would have the most knowledge about the subject matter. They both were ok with Reagan and things that he contributed to the United States while in office.…
