However, these policies are designed to increase market reasoning to work, save and invest, thus creating jobs and increasing economic growth. It is not too late to reverse the effects of the "stimulus" package. A full 60% of the economic "stimulus" package doesn't get spent until after 2010. If the fiscally conservative Republicans can regain control of the US House of Representatives (a gain of over 42 seats) in the 2010 election cycle, they can cancel a great deal of this spending and avoid the enormous tax

Truman based his entire strategy of containment on George Kennan’s analysis of communism. Kennan implied the entire problem is the ideology, and the leaders who believe in it. The American hostility to communism therefore played a huge role in the shaping of the Cold War and showing the divide between the superpowers and highlighting the personalities and conflicting interests between
From Isolation to Global Involvement From the time of the Spanish American War through the conclusion of the Cold War, the United States went from relative isolation to increased global involvement because of 1.political and technological innovation, 2.greater economic strength and 3. effective scientific strategy.

Definitions of Freedom The Gilded Era and the Progressive Era were important times of social and economic growth in American history. During the Gilded Era, there were rapid industrialization, innovation of technology and science, the rise of big business, and the construction of the transcontinental railroads. Afterward, the first year of the 20th century to about 1914 is marked as the Progressive Era. This was a time to combat monopolies and corruption, more government interference and protecting the rights of the poor, women, and consumers. One of the big issues in these two eras was conflicting definitions of “freedom.” Although people had freedom to make money in the Gilded Era, only a small minority of robber barons could do so.
Alexander Hamilton thought that the judiciary review was the important factor of the checks and balance system and necessary citadel for protecting the public justice. He thinks the general liberty is the most important thing when considering the constitutional framework. Hamilton disagrees with the legislative branch exceeding its power as despotism but accepts the power of jurisdiction as a way to protect people, which is the more important. However, for Chief Justice Marshall, the judicial review was not a way to protect the people. It was a tool for political movements and to gain authority of the judicial branch.

He did not believe that military or money should guide foreign policy. Instead the focus of Wilson’s foreign policy was based on the moral compass of our country. He felt that it was the United States moral duty to assist in establishing democratic governments in those countries that were struggling. By doing so, he felt that they would remain loyal to the United States because of how well they were treated (Unit 8, Lesson 4, The Birth of American Foreign Policy). Within a short time in office, Wilson put his policy to the test by withdrawing support from American businesses located in the Caribbean and China.
The quantity of those involved in buying and selling increased exponentially and in response, the development of modern day concepts such as businessmen and entrepreneurs arose.

The country then feared the spread of communism which lead into more global involvement. In the Truman Doctrine proposed by president Harry Truman he states “I believe that it must be a policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures”(Reading 151). What he means by this is that the future of the United States relies on helping other countries and keeping them safe from the threats of communism/totalitarianism. The US even got involved in the Korean war that was being fought within Korea due to the fear that communism may spread.
