1 Chapter 40: The Resurgence of Conservatism The Reagan Administration
2 The Election of Ronald Reagan Social/Economic Views Naturally sided with the New Right on social issues Against: Big government Federal intervention in local affairs Favoritism for minorities Elitism of bureaucrats Neoconservatives- Business liberated from govt restraints Harsh anti-soviet positions Reassertion of traditional values of individualism and importance of family
3 Elec%on of 1980 Carter s administra%on damaged Iranian hostage crisis Inability to control infla%on Fight for Democra%c %cket against Ted Kennedy Kennedy too liberal, car accident = major problem
4 The Reagan Revolu%on Iran hostage crisis ends on inaugura%on day (444 days) Reduce federal government Goal is to dismantle the welfare state Reversal of the poli%cal evolu%on of the New Deal and the Great Society Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher Both conserva%ve Reduce the power of labor unions Reduce govt involvement in business Strong foreign policy against Soviet Union
5 Reagan s An%- govt/an%- tax Proposi'on 13 movement Reagan s smaller govt policies Cut $35 billion from social programs (food stamps, job- training centers) How? Boll weevils- southern conserva%ve Dems. Part 2 of his economic program called for reduc%ons in tax rates over 3 years (approved in 1981) Lowered individual tax rates and federal estate taxes Known as supply- side economics
6 Supply Side Economics Reagan s combina%on of budgetary discipline and tax reduc%ons would: S%mulate new investment Boost produc%vity Foster economic growth Reduce the federal deficit Reality of Reaganomics Economy slid into deepest recession since 1930s Unemployment reached 11% (1982) Businesses collapsed, banks failed Reality- recession started in 1979 under Carter
7 Effects of Supply Side Economics Economic recovery began in 1983 Income gaps widened between the richest and the poorest New income group- Yuppies Did Reaganomics really create the upturn in the economy? No- massive military expenditures ($2 trillion) to the Pentagon in the 1980s Federal budget deficit reached $100 billion in 1982 America became the world s heaviest borrowers
8 Reagan Renews the Cold War Reagan- Soviets will lie, cheat, commit crimes to achieve their goal of world conquest Strategy for dealing with USSR Threaten the Soviets an expensive new round of the arms race and send the USSR to economic ruin March Reagan announced Strategic Defense Ini'a've (SDI) Rela'ons begin to deteriorate Poland s Solidarity movement Korean Airlines Flight 007 Arms- control nego%a%ons broken off Soviet boycoj of 1984 Olympic Games in LA
9 Troubles Abroad Israel Friendship w/us strained- new establishments along West Bank of Jordan River Israel invaded Lebanon (1982) to defeat Pales%nian fighters Reagan sent troops to Lebanon in peacekeeping force Suicide bomber killed more than 200 marines Reagan withdrew rest of troops No poli%cal damage for Reagan- Teflon President
10 Nicaragua Troubles Abroad Sandinistas- an%- American revolu%onaries (Daniel Ortega- president 1984) Reagan accused them turning Nic. into base for Soviet and Cuban military to move into all of Central America Reagan supplies contras (Am. backed rebels) with weapons to fight Sandinistas Nic. also sending weapons to El Salvador Reagan sends advisors to support El Salvador s govt Decade long struggle for peace in Nicaragua

14 The Iran- Contra Affair Reagan s 2 major foreign policy problems 1. con%nued cap%vity of American hostages seized by Muslim extremist groups in Lebanon 2. Sandinista government in Nicaragua Many govt officials saw a possible link
15 1985- Americans arranged to sell arms to Iran (at war w/iraq) IN RETURN- Iran would release at least 1 American hostage. Money Iran paid for the weapons went to the Contras in Nicaragua Violated the Boland Amendment- limited aid to contras News leaked out in 1986 Major blow to Reagan s foreign policy, but did remain one of the most popular presidents of modern US history
16 Reagan s Economic Legacy Supply- side economic theory promised to lower taxes that would INCREASE govt revenue- would s%mulate the economy FACT- combina%on of tax reduc%on and huge increases in military spending opened revenue hole of $200 million annual deficits Reagan added $2 trillion to the na%onal debt Reagan years were a great economic failure Economic failure, but poli%cal triumph Able to block or repeal social programs of Great Society- contained the welfare system (highest

19 Major Court Cases Reaganism against affirma%ve ac%on and abor%on Ward s Cove Packing v. Antonia and Mar6n v. Wilks Job seniority outweighs AA concerns Difficult to prove that an employer prac%ced racial discrimina%on in hiring Easier for whites to argue for reverse discrimina%on

26 Persian Gulf Crisis August 2, Saddam Hussein ajacked Kuwait- oil rich desert to the South of Iraq Why? Oil- Saddam needs oil to pay huge war bills Control of the en%re Persian Gulf region Would be in charge of oil supplies for the rest of the world Possibly total destruc%on of Israel Problem- US had helped build Saddam s military machine during 1980s (Saddam v. Iran)
27 Reac%on to Saddam s ajack UN Security Council demanded his withdrawal Ul%matum- leave now or UN will use necessary means to make you leave - Jan 15, 1991 Jan ,000 Americans entered Persian Gulf For 37 days warplanes targeted Kuwait and Iraq New technology- modern warfare begins
