Chapter 542： Reagan takes office

"The United States is facing enormous economic hardship. We are experiencing one of the longest and worst inflations in our nation's history, disrupting our economic decision-making, thwarting thrift, and oppressing young people and people who are struggling to make a living. Middle-aged people with fixed incomes, threatening to destroy the livelihoods of millions of people in our country."

“Stagnant industry leaves workers unemployed, suffering, and deprived of their personal dignity. Even those who have jobs do not get a fair pay for their labor because of the tax system that prevents us from gaining in our careers Our achievements have prevented us from remaining fully productive. Although our tax burden is quite heavy, it has not kept pace with the growth of public spending. Our deficits have been rising for decades, and we have put our own The future and the future of the children and grandchildren are mortgaged. If this trend continues for a long time, it will inevitably cause great turmoil in society, culture, politics and economy.”

In front of the TV screen, the famous actor was performing diligently. Andre, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the scene inside with a calm expression.

"Dear, come, eat the apple salad I made myself." With a plate, Ekaterina came to Andrei's side.

Today is January 20, 1981, the United States ushered in a great moment for them. President Reagan entered the White House and gave his inaugural speech. As the oldest president in American history, Reagan gave full play to his talent as an actor, Speak eloquently.

Carter lost completely, Reagan got 509 votes and Carter got only 27! Carter's sad departure from office is not a bad thing. At this time, the United States is facing a profound crisis, and a new president who can save the United States must take office!

Losing the island country, the United States lost its biggest target for wool cutting. The appreciation of the yen made by Reagan in history was to let the United States survive the economic crisis by cutting the wool of the island country, and he did it very successfully. But now, the island nation is gone. And the US dollar oil system, which the US relies most on to maintain its hegemony, is facing serious problems in the Middle East. The power of the Soviet Union has entered the Middle East! In the Persian Gulf, the Soviet Union has clearly established itself as a law enforcer! Because they set up checkpoints in the Strait of Hormuz, international crude oil has soared, and it has made the US economy even worse.

Now the United States, the economic recession is extremely serious, Reagan is facing a mess.

"We are a great country, we cannot be limited by small dreams, we are not destined to decline, let us usher in an era of national rejuvenation with all the creativity at our disposal. Let us renew our determination, courage and strength , let us rebuild our faith and hope!"

Reagan's speech, has ended, the audience applauded.

Inserting an apple block with a toothpick, Ekaterina put the apple into Andrei's mouth, and Andrei enjoyed it peacefully, realizing the indispensable meaning of a wife to a man.

After coming to Uzbekistan, Yekaterina, as an unpopular department such as the Minister of Health, did not work hard. After the eight-hour work system, she could go home, and she did not work overtime as often as she did in the hospital. There was also more time to spend with Andre.

"Andrei, you are very concerned about the new American leader," Catherine said.

"Of course, this will be our worst enemy." Andre said: "If Reagan can turn the tide, give up the illusion of using force abroad, focus on domestic reform, and increase government investment substantially, the United States The economy will soon come to life.”

Andre certainly knew that after Reagan took office, he carried out substantial reforms. In the economic field, he cut the government budget to reduce social welfare spending, controlled the money supply to reduce inflation, and reduced personal income tax and corporate tax to stimulate Investing and relaxing business management regulations to reduce production costs. His core idea is to reduce the income tax rate of high-income earners and big companies as much as possible, and at the same time, greatly reduce various social welfare expenditures. During Reagan's term, the income of all economic classes has increased. At the same time, the US fiscal The deficit has also shrunk to a very narrow range, and there has even been a surplus.

During Reagan's tenure, although it was not as earth-shattering as Bush Sr., it allowed the United States to smoothly weather the possible economic crisis and develop the American economy.

If the US economy can recover, it is of course the last thing for the Soviet Union to see. Therefore, the Soviet Union has already prepared a feast for Reagan! If he wants to reduce financial expenditure, he has to reduce military expenditure. However, the objective conditions of the outside world require the United States to put all its wealth into the bottomless pit of war! Put it in the competition with the Soviet Union!

Reagan, are you ready to take the call?

Reagan, who was in the White House, knew very well the mess that the United States was facing now. If the economy of the United States continued to deteriorate, he would be abandoned by the people like Carter!

The Carter administration has done a lot of stupid things, which greatly affected the strategic layout of the United States! However, the most important thing for the United States now is not to compete with the Soviet Union on a global scale, but to develop its own economy! How can you achieve victory abroad when you are in a mess at home?

Reagan is very busy these days. He is in the White House every day, discussing with his own think tank, deciding one economic policy after another, including cutting military spending.

This makes the military very disgusted. At this stage of the US-Soviet Cold War the military has already felt at a disadvantage. At this time, the president actually cut their military spending!

In the military high-level, there was a constant noise.

Virginia, U.S. National Investigation Agency headquarters.

It is responsible for the operation of all reconnaissance satellites in the United States, from design, manufacture to launch, and they are all arranged by them, including various launches of the space shuttle. And the department's biggest task is to monitor and manage the satellites that are still roaming in space today.

This department is also one of the core departments of the U.S. intelligence system, and it belongs to the Department of Defense.

"Hey, I heard that we are going to cut expenses, and some people may be laid off." A black man said, wearing a white coat, he tapped his fingers on the keyboard, while talking to a blond girl next to him: "Terry, if you get fired, what are you going to do next?"

"Go away." Facing the man, the girl's answer was only one word, and at this moment, a red signal appeared on the screen in front of the girl.

The Big Bird 11 reconnaissance satellite is missing! (To be continued.)
