Reagan’s tough talk sharpens edge of campaign swing
During a two day Illinois Nebraska trip President Reagan sharpened his rhetoric attacking critics of his economic program. He accused opponents of lying in their teeth and said he did not cause the recession. A White House official cautioned the approach may polarize Democrats though it could boost momentum for the GOP. Reagan campaigned with Nebraska Governor Charles Thone in Omaha highlighting tax changes and arguing the tax cut benefited Nebraskans while denying it favored the rich.
