One of the many, many problems Jeb Bush faces in his quest for the Oval Office is his break from Republican orthodoxy on president Ronald Reagan's legacy. In 2012, Bush told a group of reporters that, in today's GOP, Reagan "would be criticized for doing the things that he did"— namely, working with Democrats to pass legislation. He added that Reagan would struggle to secure the GOP nomination today.
Bush was lambasted by fellow conservatives for his comments, but he had a point: If you judge him by the uncompromising small government standards of today's GOP, Reagan was a disaster. Here are a few charts that show why.
Under Reagan, the national debt almost tripled, from $907 billion in 1980 to $2.6 trillion in 1988:
Reagan ended his 1988 farewell speech<span> with the memorable line, "man is not free unless government is limited." The line is still a rallying cry for the right wing, but the speech came at the end of a long period of government expansion. Under Reagan, the federal workforce increased by about 324,000 to almost 5.3 million people. (The new hires weren't just soldiers to fight the communists, either: uniformed military personnel only accounted for 26 percent of the increase.) In 2012, the federal government employed almost a million fewer people than it did in the last year of Reagan's presidency.</span>
<em>What are two things the Radical Republicans insisted be part of their Reconstruction plan?</em>
- Each state would have a republican form of government.
- Every citizen would be properly represented in government.
- <em>The Radical Republicans wanted to punish Southerners and slaveowners for causing the Civil War, so they would not have favored returning land to plantation owners.</em>
<em>Who suffered the most due to the lack of unity in the Federal government during the years of Reconstruction?</em>
all people
- <em>I suppose some might say Northerners suffered most because so much attention was focused on the South and on Reconstruction. It's possible that's what your lesson says. But I would argue that all people suffered from the failures of Reconstruction, because it allowed entrenched systems of racism to persist, which continue to cause problems in the country even to this day.</em>
<em>In what ways did self-serving individuals hurt the Reconstruction effort?
</em>
-
They misused government tax dollars.
- They accepted bribes and overspent money.
- <em>Self-serving means they were in it for themselves, and did things underhandedly to benefit themselves as individuals. </em>
