President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared war on poverty, and he intended to create a nation with low poverty rates. He planned to increase welfare programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps. More money was spent on these commodities. The black families became dependent on them, thus killing their work ethic and discipline (Matthews, 2014).

In the Nixon era, the Watergate scandal is the most astonishing of all scandals that have ever happened in the oval office.

Over 50 American citizens were held for 444 days and only released when a new government took over. This was as a result of intrusive foreign policies the president Carter had formulated. Part of the problem was that the country was facing stagflation and high poverty rates (Kamarck, 2019).
It was after the great recession that Ronald Reagan took presidential office. He then embarked on programs to reduce inflation, reduce taxes, and increase employment. His objectives were a...
