What did Reaganomics do?

Answer 1

Reaganomics is the program of austerity put in place by the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. It included a 20-percent cut in the top income tax rate (from 70 to 50 percent) and drastic cuts in non-defense government spending.

Reaganomics caused an 18-month contraction of the economy and the highest U3 unemployment rate, 10.8 percent, ever recorded since the government started calculating it. Reaganomics didn't work; in 1982 the government enacted a law called the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act that repealed a lot of the Reaganomics reforms.

They did not, however, repeal the tax cuts, and they should have. The selling point of tax cuts is that by cutting taxes on rich people they will create jobs and new products and bring more revenue into the government than you would have had at the old tax rates. This selling point ignores something that is crucial to destroying it: no businessman creates a job unless he has work for that person to do.

Answer 2

The policy of Reaganomics was based on "supply side" economics (which is often criticized as the "trickle down" strategy) to build economic growth. President Ronald Reagan championed across-the-board tax reduction and cutbacks in spending for social programs such as job education and welfare. The intent of the tax cuts was to leave capital in the private sector where it could be re-invested, rather than being acquired and used by the federal government. The net increase in economic activity would eventually generate tax revenue to compensate for the cuts.

The reactions to this idea are almost always subjective. Many critics decry the reduction in taxes for the richest Americans, who showed significant gains in wealth and hence political power. Supporters of the concept say it is based on the principles of free enterprise, rather than inefficient government involvement through higher taxes, subsidies, and public spending. The support for Reaganomics was divided substantially along the lines of the two major political parties. And as with most governmental policies, it had mixed results for the US economy.
