- 51: Monetary/Fiscal Policy
- ... many other economic factors. In my opinion, it seems like two people have the majority of the control when it comes to forming these policies. The first person who influences these policies is President Bill Clinton who proposes tax cuts, to balance the budget (Clinton's budget proposal should be given to congress soon), minimum wage increases, or other legislation to improve the economy. The second person who influences policy is the Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan who can ... balance the budget.

- 53: Bob Dole: A Race to the Top
- ... of the tax cut. Professor Alan Aurbach, of the University of California at Barkeley, explains the situation perfectly when he said, "they might as well turn the lights out in Washington" (Lacayo 1996, 44). President Clinton's administration counts on the fact that Dole's tax cuts will more likely than not balloon the deficit and the Clinton administration remains confident that the American public will realize this and deter from voting for Dole. While Dole says he can cut taxes by 548 billion dollars and still balance the budget, his plan proposes ... that Dole's difficulty in convincing voters lies in the fact that the American public doesn't fully understand his plan, which clearly seems to defy the principals of simple math (Lacayo 1996). President Bill Clinton argues that Dole hastily made these promises not considering the consequences and selfishly insinuates that his plan will contribute to all working people, rich and poor. The result being that Dole will loose trust ...
- 54: Race Relations in the United States
- ... Commission wrote a report that found that America was “moving towards two societies, one black, one white, separate and unequal.” Three decades later, in an address at the University of California in San Diego, President Clinton called for a year long conversation about race relations in the United States. According to Clinton in half a century there will be no majority race in America. “Will we become not two but many Americas, separate, unequal and isolated,” he asked, “or will we draw strength from all your people ... of human dignity to become the world’s first truly multiracial democracy?” Is such a democracy possible? Or will our differences always come between us? Looking around today it might seem a little odd for Clinton to call for racial healing. “For now, no cities are burning. No divisive events like the O.J. Simpson trial are preoccupying Americans. Among African-Americans overall, income, life expectancy and employment have been ...

- ... can; they soon find that the major candidates have paid little, if any attention to the issues that effect young people the most. Chris Weinkopf, associate editor of National Review, when speaking about how Bill Clinton and Bob Dole are talking to young voters said, "I think both of them are really just paying lip service to young people in the way they address issues" (www.mtv.com/issues.html). When ... Elections have been won or lost because of who young people do or do not support. In 1996, 50% of registered voters under the age of 30 turned out to vote.

However, that opportunity is rarely there for those among younger voters.

- 56: The Potential For A U.N. Peace
- ... critics of the action contend that Milosevic is made out to be a "Hitler" by NATO which is a way to justifying the bombing (Cotler 8). Some even go so far as to suggest that Clinton is creating a phony war (Alexander A19). Alexander suggests that it is a phony war because its strategy has been determined by opinion polls, and targeting decisions made by the 19-nation committee which frequently ... can divert attention from a scandal by starting a war. The actual events of the Kosovo crisis do with uncanny precision correlate with the movie events as the war was started in the midst of Clinton's impeachment trial which had in fact soon been forgotten. Maybe the theory is not that far fetched. Alexander also claims that stated objectives are not reasonable; they are the withdrawal of Serbian forces from ... He didn't. On April 23, Russian envoy Viktor Chernomyrdin met with Milosevic, announcing a breakthrough agreement for "international presence" in Kosovo ("Day by day" PG). But peace would not be restored. Further, while President Clinton met with the Russian envoy to discuss the Russian diplomatic effort to try to end the bombing, the U.S. rejected the appeal by Yugoslavia to stop the bombing because they had released the ...

- 58: The Failure of NAFTA
- ... virtually all the economists, and a majority of the major media outlets. Some believe that it was the Democrats that put NAFTA over the top. Sixty percent of the Democrats in the House voted against Clinton. For it was actually Newt Gingrich’s aggressive intervention and the Republican vote that made the difference. Two years after the agreement was put into effect the results came in. The people were right. The business leaders, the economists, the White House, and Newt Gingrich were all wrong. Let’s look at the facts. President Clinton promised 200,000 additional jobs because of NAFTA by 1995 alone. In fact though over 200,000 jobs were lost because of NAFTA (Morris 22).
