Tax Cuts
The first days of the Rumsfeld Presidency were a politics of musical chairs. A complete reversal of Kennedy's tax increases was the first priority of the new administration. A GOP trifecta ensured that the tax cuts would pass easily. An ambitious Defense increase quickly came afterward, to the tune of nearly 500 million dollars for modernized systems and new nuclear weapons. The Defense Hike, as it came to be known, was met with heavy opposition from anti-war activists and led to a national renewal of the Nuclear Freeze movement that had faltered during the Kennedy years.
