Protestors rally against Reagan economics in Chicago
A 5000 strong crowd including a dozen wheelchair users protested Reagan economics at McCormick Place during a fundraiser for Gov. James Thompson. ICARE accused budget cuts of harming food, health care, education, and jobs while Reagan defended foreign policy and pressed for a tax cut, warning Congress to finish work on the tax bill within four weeks or risk missing the tax cut this year.
