Many nostalgically look back on the 1980s, remembering it as a decade that the nation’s economy boomed under Ronald Reagan.
What people may not remember is that it didn’t start out that way. Reagan inherited a mess from Democratic President Jimmy Carter, and it took some bold moves to get the American economy out of its malaise.
President Donald Trump faces a similar situation now, and he’s taking some strong action to get the United States economy back on a sustainable path.
