Miserable and Broke in the US? Blame Reagan

In the 1980s, as the United States struggled financially, one man came forward claiming that he could fix everything: Ronald Reagan. Poised and Persuasive, he introduced a plan that would allegedly help everyone recover financially. He cut social spending, upped the military budget, and reduced the taxes on the wealthy. All of this was meant to lead to prosperity for all, but now, the outcome seems much darker. As the richer get richer and the middle class quickly disappears, we grapple with this aspect of our history. What was the real impact of Reganomics?
