The Failures Of The Reagan Presidency

There was much controversy during the Reagan Revolution about whether or not what President Reagan was doing for the country would turn out as beneficial to the country in the long run. Reagan had quickly reflected the reinvigoration of conservatism with tax cuts, a laissez faire approach to business, and strong national defense. The results of Reagan’s policies would have a huge impact on American politics after his terms and there were different opinions on his actions. Some people thought that

Ronald Reagan was a beloved American president. However, he didn’t represent the prodigious archetype all citizens should follow. Reagan declared that the “government isn’t the solution to our problem” rather, “the government is the problem”. He decried that years of new deal-style tax- and- spend programs created a federal government that reminded him of a create who was all appetite at one end with no sense of responsibility on the other.

This evolution has occurred because of the changing times and the evolution of society itself, but also because of the actions of the men who have become president. Starting in the 20th century, most have referred to the presidency as the modern presidency due to changes in both a president's power and the way that the office

remained at the end of Bush’s presidency. Surprisingly, while most Americans and the general public believe that the American president is capable of change and essentially rewriting history, Stephen Skowronek, in his book, The Politics Presidents Make, contends that presidents rarely have the opportunities to enforce drastic change. Rather, he states that presidencies are marked by life-cycles in respect to the “rise and fall” of political regimes and hence, these presidencies are characterized by their

The Raegan Administration as Having Altered the American Political Agenda To understand why the Reagan presidency was so unique first one must understand transformation of the presidency. The post-1932 modern presidency differs from the modern presidency in three ways unique ways.

By capturing the religious right, Reagan set precedence for expanding the conservative base of the Republican Party (McAdam and Kloos 212).
