Ronald Reagan – 141.9
In office from 1981 to 1989, Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States. Reagan was best known for “reaganomics” which was his emphasis on the economy, notably lower social spending, deregulation of domestic markets, increased military spending, and widespread tax cuts. He also contributed to the conclusion of the Cold War and should be credited for the Iran-Contra scandal. The president of Germany delivered a speech in which he yelled, “tear down this wall!”

Reagan’s Assassination Attempt
On the 30th of March in 1981, John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan. The motivation for the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan was somewhat different from what you might expect; the would-be assassin wanted to impress actress Jodie Foster. Despite being struck by a ricocheted bullet, he lived and subsequently admitted to his wife that he had “I forgot to duck.”
