President Reagan was generally opposed to the expansion of social programs, advocating instead for reduced government spending and a more market-oriented approach. His administration focused on tax cuts and deregulation, arguing that these measures would stimulate economic growth and ultimately benefit all Americans. While some programs were maintained, many social welfare initiatives faced cuts or restructuring during his presidency. Overall, Reagan’s policies reflected a belief in limited government intervention in the economy.
