Richard Nixon tried to "rationalize" the system by sorting out the functions of government at each level. He developed a program of general revenue sharing which gave federal grants without strings to state and local governments. Reagan viewed this as a bonanza for spendthrift governors and mayors, and eliminated many programs. But federal expenditures continued to increase primarily because of defense expenditures, the growth of federal entitlement programs, and the expansion of the federal workforce.
