, AMERICAN DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN POLICIES (1953-1991) 2

As I continue to push forward on our journey in US history, I would like to tell you about

four presidents. Giving you a glance into their presidency what they did for the US economically

and socially, policies, and how they served public interest. The four presidents I chose are

Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon, and Ronald W. Reagan.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was Americas 34th president of the United States from 1953 to

1961. Petersen explains the president helped US economically during the 1958 recession. This

recession was short lived lasted eight months during World War II. During this time many

American were unemployed due to the population not purchasing vehicles or building/buying

homes. This forced many Americans to unemployment. President pushed for more Agriculture

projects to be done to increase the demand of raw materials such as lumber to create more jobs.

He also extended unemployment benefits if American still couldn’t find labor they could still

feed their families. To encourage American to build homes the benefit was in place for no down

payment when purchasing your home. Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 was passed in

Eisenhower which strengthen the US by creating even more jobs. This project was to be done

over a ten-year period funded with 25 million dollars to assure the completion of the task. The

highway was to span 41,000 miles. Some states put tollways in place to help with the payment

although now paid off tollways stay in place for highway maintenance. Eisenhower served the

public’s interest and continuing the cause for democracy by continuing The New Deal (that FDR

started), expanded on social security, and prioritized a balanced budget over tax cuts. When

Eisenhower heard of political parties trying to take away social security, he said “Should any

political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor

laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.” He

upheld the minimum wage to ensure Americans could provide for their families. (2017)
