“The US economy is seeing it's greatest growth since the Reagan Era.”— Sierra Depot GNN transcript

Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th president of the United States, in office from 1981 to 1989 in the real-world. Whether Reagan's presidency followed the same path in the Fallout series is unknown.

Background

Reagan's presidency is mentioned in Fallout 2, stating that in February 2074, "the US economy [was] seeing [its] greatest growth since the Reagan Era." However, this information is from the Sierra Depot GNN transcript, which is an unreliable source.

Appearances

Ronald Reagan is mentioned only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes

In the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders, the player has the option of telling Digger during the quest Secrets Revealed that "We're from the government. We're here to help." This is a reference to a popular quote from Ronald Reagan, who once said "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
