There was an impressive drop in the unemployment rate during Reagan’s administration as well. 17 million new jobs were created and the unemployment rate fell from 9.7% to 5.5% by the time Reagan’s presidential term ended (Niskanen & Moore 1996).

As the law started to set in around the mid 90’s the FDA took a more reclusive stance and said that you will have to petition a new ingredient before allowing a new substance into the market. These NDI’s (New Dietary Ingredients) cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just to be preapproved, and after being approved cannot be used in any other supplement even if it is used by the same company. Robert Verkerk, Ph.D. (Executive & Scientific Director – Alliance for Natural Health International) claims ingredients used to manage our health from foods to functional foods to concentrated nutrients and supplements are being required to prove safety before they can be
went from being a reigning king to being challenged for its throne. Different curveballs were being thrown at the U.S.A such as international countries developing at a quick rate-mainly Japan, China, and India- energy prices spiking, and inflation/unemployment spiking to great highs. In 1973-1974, the first of two major “oil shocks” increased the price of petroleum by almost four times, dramatically raising energy costs for both consumers and businesses. Workers’ demand for wage increase outweighed the rate of productivity growth, driving up unit labor costs for businesses. The annual inflation rate spiked to over 10% in 1974 and again in each of the three years from 1979 to 1981.
The income of the top 25 per cent of Australians increased more rapidly than for the remaining 75 per cent. But it was for those at the top that the income growth was strongest. For example, after taking out the effect of inflation, the after-tax incomes of those in the top 5 per cent increased by $172 a week between 1990 and 2000. The incomes of middle and poor Australians increased by just less than $40 a week during this period. Wealth in Australia: Wealth is very unequally shared in Australia.

Policy Development Paper Vance Reed CJA/464 Criminal Justice Policy Analysis 04/22/2012 Thomas McGrath Abstract Overcrowded prisons have been on an up rise for the last two decades. Overcrowded prisons are blamed for a number of reasons, such as the war on drugs, and the Three Strikes law, and the new laws regarding drugs crimes. Financially speaking, the cost is rising every year, even with new prisons and remodeling the population is steady rising. Crime peaked in the early 1990’s and this added to the high incarceration rates. Strangely enough, though the crime rate is now on a downward slope the overpopulated prisons are still increasing.
There are several parallels that lead us to believe that history may be repeating itself. Today’s U.S. economy is producing 2.2% more goods output then before the economic recession started in the late 2000’s, but with 3.8% fewer workers. This can be attributed to our modern day recession stimulating huge productivity and efficiency gains as business let mediocre employees go to save on labor costs. They have learned to do more with less. Unemployment rates were steadily on the rise just a few months ago and corporate profits are at all time highs.
