Economic Recovery Program

Ronald Reagan

On February 18, 1981, Reagan laid out his economic recovery program before a Joint Session of Congress. Reagan had previously outlined his recovery program in an Oval Office address on February 5, 1981, in which he displayed a dollar bill and 36 cents to show how inflation had reduced the value of a dollar since 1960.
Reagan made a further plea for enactment of his recovery program on April 28, 1981, following the assassination attempt on his life. Many economists credit this recovery program for reducing the inflation rate and igniting one of the longest and most robust economic expansions in U.S. history.
Reagan paints a grim picture of inflation, the national debt, and lagging productivity plaguing the economy. $41.4 billion of reduced spending is proposed with no reduction for “the poverty stricken, the disabled, the elderly, [and] all those with true need”. Subsidies of the synthetic fuel program, the Export-Import Bank, and the Economic Development Administration are targeted.
Block grants to states are proposed, along with changes to Medicaid, the space program, the Postal Service, and the Department of Energy. To counter the Soviet Union’s military build-up, defense is the one department with an increased budget.
A 10-percent tax cut for individual taxpayers is proposed for each of the next 3 years, along with increased depreciation allowances to allow business the capital needed to modernize.
We “must come to grips with inefficient and burdensome regulations, eliminate those we can and reform the others.”
To reduce inflation and interest rates, we need to slow the growth of our money supply.
This is our proposal for America’s new beginning. “I'm here tonight to ask you to join me in making it our plan.” Government “must not be used to regulate the economy or bring about social change.”

Without Sanctuary: Photography...

Vines Graener

Welcome to Photography and Lynching in America: Without Sanctuary. In this powerful exploration, we confront the painful and often overlooked history of racial violence in the United States, particularly focusing on the practice of lynching in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This audiobook examines not just the brutality of these acts, but the ways in which they were immortalized through photography, turning horrific moments of racial terrorism into public spectacles. 
Through the lens of these photographs, we see the complicity of ordinary white citizens and community leaders who participated in, or stood by, as these brutal acts unfolded. We’ll also delve into the disturbing justifications used to defend lynching, such as the perpetuation of white supremacy and false narratives surrounding black criminality. But this history is not just about the past—it’s about how these acts continue to shape the racial landscape of America today. 
As we journey through this dark chapter of American history, we’ll explore the resilience of black communities, the fight for justice, and the lasting impact of these events. This audiobook seeks to not only remember these atrocities but to understand how they continue to influence the ongoing struggle against racism in America. Stay with us as we peel back the layers of this history and face its painful truths, in the hope of building a more just and equal future.
