What were Ronald Reagans shortcomings?

Answer 1

President Reagan is charged with beginning the widening gap between the rich and the poor in the United States. His attack on labor unions is viewed as the real cause of the diminishing middle class since so many citizens were elevated to that class as a result of labor union negotiations. He is further charged with widening racial tensions as well as bringing a feeling of distrust of the poor with stories of â??Welfare Queensâ??.
