Under which presidential administration did the national debt triple, due to a combination of tax cuts and defense spending?

President Reagan

The national debt rose rapidly during the 1980s. President Reagan followed a combination of lowered tax rates (from 70% to 28% at the top income tax rate) and increased defense spending. At the same time, Democrats blocked cuts to social programs. This led to the tripling of the Gross Federal Debt, from $900 billion to $2.7 trillion. The debt continued to rise during the presidency of George H. W. Bush, but decreased at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency.

the hollywood film industry of 1950 was threatened on several different fronts. television broadcasting was rapidly becoming the dominant entertainment medium in the united states. the paramount anti-trust consent decree requiring separate ownership for production companies and theater chains had gone into effect on 1 january 1950. large numbers of young men and women were marrying, having children, and moving to the suburbs, which affected the viability of downtown first-run movie theaters. foreign revenues were endangered by protectionist tactics including quota systems, high taxes, and blocked funds. finally, the morality and patriotism of hollywood films and filmmakers were under attack from government, religious, and citizens' groups.
