INCREASED GOVERNMENT DEFECIT DID NOT FIT REAGAN’S “BRAND”, BUT THE BLOCK GRANT POLICY DID.
Reagan promised to lower government spending and lower taxes, but he increased military spending by 85%. With lowered taxes and increased military spending, theUS ’s income is too meager for its spending. This is why national debt tripled from $75 billion to $221 billion.
The Block Grant Policy fitted Reagan’s conservative “brand”. In his inaugural speech, Reagan said he will “curb the size and the influence of the Federal establishment and demand recognition… to the state.” The Block Grant Policy cut the power of the federal government and gave the states more power to control their own precinct. The state is able to do things without worrying whether or not the federal government will take part in it.
