<u>Answer</u>:

<h2>A. decreasing the size of the federal government</h2>

<u>Historical details</u>:

In his campaign for the presidency in 1980, Ronald Reagan promised to decrease taxes and reduce the size of the federal government.  He also promised to improve the economy, restore faith in the nation, and 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.

Considering what you read in the article, do you think the benefits created through public programs outweigh their expenses?
Brums [2.3K]

Based on the article, I think that the benefits created through public programs outweigh their expenses.

<h3>What are public programs?</h3>

Public programs are assistance programs created by governments at different levels to assuage the humanitarian needs of society, especially the poor and needy.

For example, the federal government provides Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Supplemental Security Income, and the Earned Income Credit.

Other examples of public programs by the federal government include Medicaid, Food Stamps, and housing assistance.

Thus, when weighed on humanitarian grounds, the benefits created through public programs outweigh their expenses.
