The reasons President Reagan used to support his stance on the House committee measure included:
- It costs $141 billion more.
- It is a failed policy.
- It cuts essential defense spending.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ronald Wilson Reagan served as the 40th president of America in the year of 1981-1989. Reagan helped in cutting taxes, increasing defense spending and negotiated nuclear arms reduction agreement with the Soviets. Thus the Cold War quickly came to an end.
Reagan states that the House committee measure projects spent more than $141 billion and it is a failed policy. This failed policy made them to reduce the essential spending on defense. Thus the committee project was canceled and the restored amount was spent on U.S national security.
