Answer:

by increasing military spending

Step-by-step explanation:

Reagan soon became known as a staunch anti-communist and a fierce Cold Warrior. After serving as Governor of California from 1967-1975, he was elected President of the United States in the Election of 1980. He served between 1981-1989, and played a critical role in bringing an end to the Cold War

The President plans to raise military spending to $343 billion a year in fiscal year 1986, from $162 billion a year in fiscal 1981.

Perhaps because there is no counterargument, the economic defenders of the Reagan Administration's defense budget have been completely silent when it comes to the first point.
