Bureaucratic Reform Andrew Mutebi POS/110 12/07/2011 Susan Hiller After watching the Bureaucratic Reform video roundtable,” I found that the red tape is the symbol for the hoops you have to jump through, the paperwork you have to fill out, and the things you have to do in order to get help from or business getting done with the federal bureaucracy.

What makes the fear so vivid in our memories is that 9/11 plays over in our heads and is reminded to us every day we turn on the news and have to witness the war in Iraq in first person. It becomes inescapable by drawing us toward the feeding pool and we buy into the fear that is created.

Clinton defined himself as a centrist Democrat in his 1992 campaign in part by promising to "end welfare as we know it." After the Republican takeover of Congress, he fended off certain GOP welfare provisions but ultimately signed a bill that liberal members of Congress considered much too cruel to the poor.
