<p>^ Reaganomics only promotes wealthy white families.....Reagan, despite his greatness as a human being...was a spiteful racist...oh well.</p>
<p>It's amazing how you guys speak in absolutes. Reaganomics is certainly debatable. It was very successful during its time, but its future implications are still being played out. Then you have someone like our new fed reserve chair in the wings relatively uncconcerned w/ debt...if debt's not a problem, Reaganomics may have been a success.</p>
<p>Just wanted to play devil's advocate year, plus I don't think anything that arbitrary can be stated in absolutes. :)</p>
<p>Haha... no I know... and I understand it does not reflect your political views... (judging by you attending school in cali... I would venture to say you are a bit more to the left)</p>
<p>Reaganomics failed more than I'm going to fail my stats quiz I am not studying for... debt skyrocketed... the only thing that trickled down was the anger the proliteriat felt from getting the shaft from the elitists</p>
<p>The job growth under the Reagan administration was an average of 2.1% per year, while much better than most recent Republicans, was worse than every Democratic President from the last 80 years.</p>
<p>Anyway...</p>
<p>I think you have a solid chance of Harvard with your solid GPA at Berkeley and interesting EC's</p>
<p>how about tax cuts buddy... who got those?</p>
<p>In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have refused to consider rolling back the $336 billion in new tax cuts that the richest 1 percent are slated to get over the next five years. They say we need to pay for reconstruction not by asking the wealthiest to sacrifice just a little bit, but by massive cuts to spending. And now we see what that means: The Navy Times today reports that those cuts "include trimming military quality-of-life programs, including health care." This, while troops are in battle...self-propogating conundrum, the man lives in a paradoxal cardboard box it would appear.</p>
<p>Well, it seems as though you jump only to topics you wrote your most recent current events response on... </p>
<p>But I point to more intersting aspects, such as the many pork barrel (thats not the term... its a escaping me) that constantly occur in bills. Anyone read about that alaskan senator who aquired 400 million to build a bridge that rivals the golden gate bridge... that only serves 50 people...? Intersting stuff, im sure its been going on since the articles of confederation, but still. Its inevitable though, ah... the beauty of our government</p>
<p>BTW: I didn't write a "current event" on it, I'm President of Debate at my school man, lol.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree, the problem is, people are ideologically conservative and operationally liberal. They want tax cuts to be proposed by their Presidential candidates, only to beg their congresspeople for PORK and benefits for local schools, etc.</p>
<p>You mean "riders" on bills...and you mean the Senator Stevens who is the President Pro Tempore who is the man who is putting $2000 in each Alaskan's pocket...</p>
<p>slipperly slip, Cornell Arts/Sciences last year was 15-17 percent. Brown was like 27 percent. Cornell Arts/Sciences is harder to transfer into than Brown, on par with Penn.</p>
<p>^ Wow, that's surprising actually.</p>
