Which of the following was a result of president kennedy’s economic policies? . a) economic growth rose sharply in the 1960s.. b) military spending decreased significantly.. c) the middle-class tax burden increased.. d) unemployment grew more quickly than expected..

The correct answer is A. As a result of President Kennedy's economic policies, economic growth rose sharply in the 1960s.

Kennedy ended a period of strict fiscal policy, relaxed monetary policy to maintain interest rates and stimulate the growth of the economy. Kennedy presided over the government's first budget to surpass the $ 100 billion mark in 1962 , and its first budget in 1961 led to the first budget deficits without war and without recession. The economy, which had gone through two recessions in three years and was in another when Kennedy took power, accelerated markedly during his brief presidency. Despite low inflation and low interest rates, GDP had only grown at an average of 2.2% during the Eisenhower presidency (little more than population growth at that time), and decreased by 1% during the last year of its administration. The stagnation had reached the labor market of the country: unemployment increased constantly, going from less than 3% in 1953 to 7%, at the beginning of 1961.

The economy revolved and prospered during the Kennedy administration. GDP grew by an average of 5.5% from the beginning of 1961 to the end of 1963, while inflation remained stable at around 1% and unemployment began to decline, industrial production increased by 15% and automobile sales jumped by 40%. This growth rate of GDP and industry continued until around 1966.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
