True False Reagan believed the government was the problem behind the economic crisis taking place at the time. Reagan's efforts to reduce government regulations are consistent with the arguments presented in the excerpt regarding reducing the size of the federal government and limiting its role in the nation's economy. The ideas presented in the excerpt, such as reducing government spending and generally opposing the growth of the government in the 1960s and 1970s, are associated with the Progressive movement.
False. Reagan believed that reducing government regulations and limiting the size of the government were necessary steps to improve the economy. These ideas are not associated with the Progressive movement, which was more focused on expanding government involvement in order to address social and economic issues.
