The term "rollback" is the strategy of forcing changes in major policies of the state, most often by replacing the state's current regime, as opposed to simply containing the state ("containment"), or cooperating to work with the state ("détente"). During the Cold War, Eisenhower initially promoted rollback in Eastern Europe and Asia, but decided that containment was ultimately safer than rollback, considering the Soviet nuclear confrontation that was at hand. Eisenhower relied on covert CIA actions to undercut small, unfavorable governments and used economic and military foreign aid to governments supporting his position.
Eisenhower felt that the programs of FDR's New Deal were too expensive to continue and had caused the federal government to become too large and too invasive in the everyday life of the citizen. But, as President, he did not have the votes he needed in Congress to dismantle all or parts of the New Deal. He did stop the spread of the programs still in existence and he expanded Social Security coverage which was supported by many Republicans as well as Democrats.
