Summary

- Keep the economy strong and growing
- Review the state of social programs
- Continue spreading democracy around the world
- Maintain a strong defense
Reagan discussed the federal deficit, the size of the federal budget, abortion, crime, drugs, the line-item veto, foreign relations and the Soviet–Afghan War. He famously summarized the effect of government intervention on the poor:[2] Шаблон:Quote
