Reagan's Budget Shift Through the New Deal Era
This opinion piece contrasts federal spending from 1940 to Reagan's era, noting New Deal spending at nine billion versus today’s about a trillion annually. It argues Reagan’s moderating cuts are not radical, calling them a midcourse correction rather than repeal, while urging bolder use of political capital and emphasizing the enduring growth of the welfare state. The piece recalls Lyndon Johnson’s budget and warns against overstated critiques.
