Steven Kelman/"Making Public Policy"
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of Steven Kelman's book "Making Public Policy." In this book, Kelman argues the rather unfashionable view that—all in all- the role that government plays in the lives of American citizens is "more worthy admiration and faith" than of "dislike and cynicism." Kelman's basic thesis is that for the policy-making process to function well, there has to be high levels of public spirit on the part of the citizens who participate in that process. The writer discusses this, as well as what others say about this text. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Surplus-Related Fiscal Policy Issues
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing fiscal policy as it relates
to the way today's decisions will affect the future economy. We can be assured that there
will be some form of "correction" in the future, and today's fiscal policy needs to be based
on the consequences of that future correction as well as current conditions. It has been
predicted that adhering to current practice will reduce national debt from $3.5 trillion to
$865 billion in only nine years. Though it will enable the economy to grow faster, it will
also have unpredictable results on the financial sector. It will also allow some bail-out of
Social Security so that active workers will not be working to directly support two families -
their own and some unknown person who already has reached retirement age. Bibliography
lists 9 sources.
