Republican Presidents and the Safety Net: From Moderation to Backlash

By Matthew Gritter

Book Overview

Since the New Deal, Republican presidents have looked for ways to accommodate rather than abolish the federal social safety net. Yet moderation often led to a backlash from their conservative supporters, leading Republican presidents, in some cases, to move from accommodation to opposition.
