Chapter 30: Turning Inward: Society and Politics from Ford to BushSociety, Politics, and World Events from Ford to Reagan, 1974-1989

During this chapter, we discussed how after the turning decade of the Hippie Era, President Reagan took over and took drastic measures with the country. He made the country more conservative by bringing back the traditions of the US. He did this by cutting taxes, putting more money into the military funds, and being able to have each and every different cuts for this favor. President Reagan decided to do this( to change the ways of the President) because of the way Nixon decided to run the country during the time. This was a turning point because all the young people during the 60's that were publicly concerned with the government funds became more self-absorbed. This changed the favor of what it would be more of a voodoo economics. It was a trickle down theory such a hoarding the economy. I'm glad we learned during this era and I found it interesting how it was a flip of a turn the decade changed. It shows how much power the president has and the way the government was turning and things were moving faster.
