Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reagan is credited with restoring American confidence after a period of economic stagnation and setting in motion a period of economic growth that became known as the "Great Expansion." While he did seek to reduce the size of government and limit its reach, he did not abolish the Department of Education or privatize Social Security and Medicare. The federal deficit did decrease somewhat during his presidency, but not by as much as 50%.
