Help me check my answers please!: Q1: In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, summarize how Reagan changed the role of government and evaluate whether his policies benefited the country. Give 2–3 specific examples of policies during the Reagan era that addressed the problems Reagan mentioned in his Inaugural Address.

A1: Reagan's focus in his speech was on reducing government costs on one side and tax cuts on the other. The tax cuts benefited only the wealthy segment of the population. Of course, cutting costs had a huge social impact. However, in some cases it was counter-productive: because the leaks in the Chicago underground tunnels were not repaired in the 1980s due to the government's saving obsession, the net effect was that the costs of repairing them rose to nearly a billion dollars in the 1990s.

Q2: In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, explain how Reagan was able to avoid direct blame for the Iran-Contra affair?

A2: Reagan was able to avoid direct blame by promising to support anti-Communist groups, but after the midterm elections, the so called "Reagan Doctrine" became a political stumbling block. And when it came to hostages, Reagan gave a final offer, send the guy’s home, or face the consequences. As a result, they reached an agreement in which the US agreed to provide Iran with weapons in exchange for hostages.

Q3: In a paragraph of 3¬–5 sentences, identify the most important achievements of Bill Clinton’s administration and explain what limited him from achieving all of his goals. Provide 2–3 specific examples of his policies and their importance

A3: Clinton was successful in passing a tax bill that increased the tax burden on the wealthy. His administration came closer than any other to solve the problem of the exploding federal deficit. At the same time, the economy grew at a breakneck pace. He also helped pass family leaves legislation, welfare reform, and a ban on assault weapons that worked to some extent. He was limited, like all presidents, by opposition from the opposing party.
