In 1981 when Ronald Reagan entered the White House and immediately implemented a dramatic new economic policy agenda that was dubbed "Reaganomics."
A popular term used to refer to the economic policies of Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. President (1981–1989), which called for widespread tax cuts, decreased social spending, increased military spending, and the deregulation of domestic markets.
Reagan also believed in increasing military spending to defend against the communists such as Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)
Reagan obtained legislation to increase economic growth, lower unemployment, and curb inflation.
Reagan pushed for the deployment of the Peacekeeper missile system negotiating nuclear arms reduction treaties.
Reagan increase defense spending by 35 percent during his two terms.
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall speech in West Berlin, Germany
He also deploy U.S. Pershing II missiles in Germany in response to the Soviet stationing of SS-20 missiles near Europe.
He pushed for SDI, that was rightly understood by the Soviets as both a financial challenge and an intimidating expression of the power of U.S. scientific innovation.
Ronald Reagan reason for giving Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall speech was because he believed it went against liberty and peace
