B) I am just guessing, but after Jimmy Carter's administration we started making smaller cars, but it was still an issue. Since the "Star Wars" program was used as a ploy to end communism, defense spending actually went down. Republicans do not like welfare. The only other issues, republicans had was taxes. However, interest rates were at the highest during the Regan years.
