Reagan promised:
- to decrease taxes
- to improve the economy
- to restore faith in the nation
- to 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.
Option a is correct. The railroad most impact the economic growth of Texas because goods were transported inexpensively.
As railroads expanded, farmers were able to transport their products more quickly and inexpensively to markets. As additional railroads were built, Texas' agricultural economy boomed. Despite having less miles of track now, railroads are still a vital form of transportation.
Railroad building in the United States greatly surged starting in the early 1870s. Approximately 45,000 miles of track had been built before 1871. A further 170,000 miles were added to the expanding railroad network of the country between 1871 and 1900. The construction of the transcontinental railroads is responsible for a large portion of the expansion. The Pacific Railway Act, passed by Congress in 1862, gave the go-ahead for the construction of a transcontinental railroad. On May 10, 1869, the first railroad of this type was finished.
