Ronald Reagan's administration is often criticized for not achieving his goal of balancing the national debt. While he aimed to reduce the size of government and cut spending on welfare programs, the national debt actually increased significantly during his presidency due to tax cuts combined with increased military spending. Therefore, the area in which Reagan is commonly perceived to have failed to achieve his goal is balancing the national debt.
