Revision as of 23:37, 21 August 2008

In accordance with Reagan's less-government intervention views, budgets[1] and several government programs were cut during his tenure,[2] including a 22 percent reduction to the EPA budget, accusations that the EPA mismanaged a $1.6 billion superfund for cleaning toxic waste sites and attempts to purge tens of thousands of allegedly disabled people from the Social Security disability roles.[3][4][5] Though he protected entitlement programs, such as Social Security and Medicare, his administration cut outlays for many social programs.[6] FICA payroll tax rates increased to maintain Social Security funding.[7]



Deregulation

Reagan's appointees shared Reagan's policy of reducing the size of government, which resulted in a 22 percent reduction to the EPA budget, accusations that the EPA mismanaged a $1.6 billion superfund for cleaning toxic waste sites and attempts to purge tens of thousands of allegedly disabled people from the Social Security disability roles. The EPA controversies subsided when EPA director Anne Gorsuch resigned in 1983.[8][9] FICA payroll tax rates increased to maintain Social Security funding.[10]







Helms called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress."[11]
