JFK's domestic program was called the New Frontier. It included federal aid to education, low interest student loans, economic assistance to depressed areas like Appalachia and the decaying centers of our major cities. He increased spending for defense and space exploration, vowing to put a man on the moon. He engineered a $10 billion tax cut which increased prosperity and revenues. The Congress was not in favor of much of his spending programs in the New Frontier and his death cut short his administration's attempts to deal more with the economy.

Was Abraham Lincoln ever shot before his assassination?

No. One attempt was made, and it was likely made by a sniper who missed President Lincoln, with a shot but the bullet did manage to plow right through his top hat he happened to be wearing, at the time. The attempt occurred while President Lincoln was on his horse, riding back to the White House, late at night, and he was alone. The shot was not publicized, and President Lincoln told very few people about it. Whoever fired the shot remains a mystery to this day.
