I selected Ronald Reagan As The President I am writing about because he was president most of the 80s and did many important things.

Ronald Reagan Was The President At That Time
But It Used To be Jimmy Carter.

Fun Facts
Ronald Reagan grew up in a poor family.

He Had An Approval rating of 68%.

in July 1981
Tax cut lowered taxes by $750,000,000,000 Over the Next 5 Years
That Is $750 Billion.

During The 80s there was a war on drugs
Richard Nixon Launched The war on drugs in 1971
But it was nothing compared to Ronald Reagans war on drugs because he made drug laws more strict Leading to thousands of Americans arrested due to drug related offenses.]]> 2016-05-16 19:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_pauley/toq0kngfh9cn/wish/111103148 andrew_pauley https://padlet.com/andrew_pauley/toq0kngfh9cn/wish/111103184                 ]]> 2016-05-16 19:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_pauley/toq0kngfh9cn/wish/111103184 frank_zickas https://padlet.com/andrew_pauley/toq0kngfh9cn/wish/111501364 A movie ticket cots $3.15.
Minimum wage in the 80's was $3.35.
The average income of a family of four is $37,152.
The cost of a room, board, tuition and fees is $8,543.
Gas in the 80's cost $1.19.
I think the 80's economy is very different because now things cost more because of inflation. most people think that prices rose for no reason.
