THE FALL OF REAGAN
The Reagan administration imposes a cut-off on taxes of the citizen in the expectation that it would help increase the inactive economy of the United States, but with the execution of the said policy the economy become more unstable from unemployment to bankruptcies and great recession was experienced, but the remaining year of Reagans presidency the United States experience inflation dropped during that remaining term and were able to recover. The Foreign policy of the Reagan administration invites for anticommunist movement and refusal of bargaining with terrorist, but it was found out that the administration itself not only fooled the citizen but also the Country, they exchange weapons for the release of hostage, this issue was called the Iran-Contra affairs, in which guns and weapons were secretly sold to Iran. The scandal not only put Reagans credibility on edge but also his capacity as the leader of United States, many of the citizens lost their trust to their president and also their government.
The biggest lost for United States was the trust they have given their president, while advocating for non-bargain of terrorist demands and finding out the Iran-contra affairs, it was the darkest moment for America. The Reagan administration is not successful in the implementation of domestic and foreign policy since it does not able to provide enough for its country and people, what it did was made a more chaotic setting for the citizen to face. Honesty and action should be enough to save the United States situation.
