Reagan's policies significantly affected the lives of American families, particularly in the context of economic and social welfare policies:
1. **Economically disadvantaged people were impacted.** Reagan's administration focused on reducing government spending and rolling back many social welfare programs, which affected economically disadvantaged families. Cuts to programs such as housing assistance, food stamps, and other social services made it more difficult for these families to make ends meet.
2. **Housing subsidies were no longer needed.** While not entirely accurate, Reagan's policies emphasized a shift towards a more market-based approach in sectors like housing, which led to reduced federal involvement and support. This shift often resulted in fewer available resources for families needing housing assistance, causing increased struggles for those with low incomes.
These responses reflect the broader implications of Reagan's economic policies on various segments of American society, particularly those already facing financial hardship.
