Resurgence of Conservative Politics Reagans Agenda The Busch Years
The Cold War promotes a strong foreign policy and an emphasis on minimal government intervention in economics. Cold War fears of communism encourage religious Americans to turn to conservative ideas. Barry Goldwater wins the 1964 Republican presidential nomination. The growth of the Sunbelt increases conservative support. Supply-side economics emphasizes large tax cuts. Reagans administration takes a strong anti-Communist stance in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Reagan and Gorbachev begin new nuclear arms reductions. Military spending drives the growing budget deficit to record levels. Communism collapses in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The uncertainty of a New World Order replaces the dualism of the Cold War. The Persian Gulf War drives Bushs popularity to its highest level. A domestic economic recession weakens Bushs re-election campaign.

9SPEECH
- I'm speaking to you tonight to give you a report
on the state of our Nation's economy. I regret to
say that we're in the worst economic mess since
the Great Depression. The Federal budget is out
of control, and we face runaway deficits of
almost 80 billion for this budget year that ends
September 30th. That deficit is larger than the
entire Federal budget in 1957, and so is the
almost 80 billion we will pay in interest this
year on the national debt. Twenty years ago, in
1960, our Federal Government payroll was less
than 13 billion. Today it is 75 billion. During
these 20 years our population has only increased
by 23.3 percent. The Federal budget has gone up
528 percent. Today this once great industrial
giant of ours has the lowest rate of gain in
productivity of virtually all the industrial
nations with whom we must compete in the world
market. We can't even hold our own market here in
America against foreign automobiles, steel, and a
number of other products. Japanese production of
automobiles is almost twice as great per worker
as it is in America. Japanese steelworkers out
produce their American counterparts by about 25
percent. Now, we've just had 2 years of
back-to-back double-digit inflation -- 13.3
percent in 1979, 12.4 percent last year. The last
time this happened was in World War I. In 1960
mortgage interest rates averaged about 6 percent.
They're 2\1/2\ times as high now, 15.4 percent.
The percentage of your earnings the Federal
Government took in taxes in 1960 has almost
doubled. And finally there are 7 million
Americans caught up in the personal indignity and
human tragedy of unemployment. If they stood in a
line, allowing 3 feet for each person, the line
would reach from the coast of Maine to
California. We can leave our children with an
unrepayable massive debt and a shattered economy,
or we can leave them liberty in a land where
every individual has the opportunity to be
whatever God intended us to be. All it takes is a
little common sense and recognition of our own
ability. Together we can forge a new beginning
for America. -President Ronald Reagan
10Speech continued
- This speech discusses the economic crisis that
the world was in when President Reagan was in
office. It is described as a time just as worse
as the Great Depression. The purpose of the
speech is to inform the world of its economic
standings at the time. The speech reviews that
the budgets are down and the nation is in debt.
As the population is increasing it is harder to
feed all those hands and productivity isnt
holding up against foreign countries such as
Japan. Also Inflation has doubled causing taxes
to increase and the amount of jobless people has
increased. If the world is left with a huge debt,
that debt is going to passed down to the next
generation and they will struggle even more. The
people must leave the next generations not with
this debt but liberty to be whatever they want to
be. America must start over and begin fresh.

reached out nationwide. Also they were considered
to be televangelists which led the way to the
Moral Majority where they could register people

issues. This helped with the growing of
conservative identity nation wide because the

in with their television shows and power to
register voters for this cause.

to migrate to these states the taxes would level
out with the northern states forcing the House of
Representatives to have higher tax and

these issues. He was committed to start back up
