B:reduce spending
C:cut defense
D:raise tariffs

Answer 1

Congress wanted to raise taxes

Answer 2

The correct answer is A:raise taxes

Regan's economics caused massive deficits in the budget because he introduced tax cuts to people which meant that the budget would be smaller. They wanted to raise taxes to make up for what was lost and this led to an even bigger problem and the economy started becoming a huge issue since people became more indebted.
