A collage of seven charts critiquing socioeconomic trends tied to Ronald Reagan’s presidency, each marked with his face & arrows highlighting the 1980s: 1. A chart shows rising income inequality from 1947 to 2017, with disparities widening in the early 1980s. 2. A graph compares healthcare spending to life expectancy, with the U.S. diverging in 1985 due to high costs & limited gains. 3. A chart shows the top marginal tax rate dropping sharply during Reagan’s presidency. 4. A graph tracks federal debt as a percentage of GDP, which begins rising steeply in the 1980s. 5. A chart highlights growing U.S. debt in the 1980s, both in 2014 dollars & as a percentage of GDP. 6. A chart compares tuition, income, & minimum wage growth in Illinois since 1970, with tuition surging in the early 1980s. 7. Two graphs on incarceration show prison populations rising sharply after Reagan’s 1980s "War on Drugs." Charts reveal long-term impacts of Reagan-era policies on inequality, debt, & incarceration.
