Product Features
- <strong>A challenging "What went wrong in Iraq?" section</strong> describes the strengths and weaknesses of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's military strategies and decisions in Iraq.
- <strong>The important policies enacted during the Bush Administration's first term,</strong> including the No Child Left Behind Act (mandating pupil testing), the Medicare Modernization Act (adding prescription drug coverage to Medicare), and tax reform (lowering the top marginal rate from 39.6 percent to 35 percent).
- <strong>Immigration reform. Bush proposed more border security along with</strong> a regularized system for integrating the 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants in the country. Yet, debate over this controversial issue continues. It remains to be seen whether any legislation will improve on the failed Immigration Reform Act of 1986.
- <strong>The lack of policymaking established during Bush's second term.</strong> Deficit spending spiraled virtually out of control. The national dept reached $9 trillion; annual federal deficits of $400 billion or more became common. Trade deficits grew exponentially. No new civil rights bills were proposed or passed, nor was there any new significant environmental legislation. Bush's proposal to reform Social Security fell on deaf ears in the Congress and the American public.
- <strong>New members of the U. S. Supreme Court.</strong> Two new members were appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court, but it is not clear whether any major changes in constitutional interpretation are imminent.
- <strong>Diversity in higher education.</strong> Diversity in higher education was recognized to be "a compelling government interest," yet race was rejected as the sole criteria for admission.
