Increasing defense spending
Reagenomics
Ronald Reagan's policies, particularly during the 1980s, focused on tax cuts, deregulation, and reducing government spending, which proponents argued would stimulate economic growth. However, critics contend that these policies led to increased income inequality and a rise in poverty levels, as social safety nets were weakened and benefits for low-income individuals were reduced. The combination of these factors contributed to a significant increase in the number of people living in poverty, particularly among marginalized communities. While some experienced economic gains, many others struggled as the wealth gap widened.
