“The Assembly passed a budget that makes the right choices for young students across the state by helping schools avoid cutting essential educational programs, laying off teachers and increasing local property taxes. Without a sound investment in our children and their education, New York would face crumbling school buildings, overcrowded classrooms, and few opportunities to excel.” ChildrenStatesHelpingSchoolFacesYoungChoicesOpportunitySoundTeacherCuttingNew YorkStudentsBuildingTaxesEssentialsProgramOur ChildrenPropertyInvestmentEducationalLocalsBudgetsClassroomAssemblyRight ChoicesCrumblingMake The Right ChoiceYoung StudentsProperty TaxesEducational ProgramsSchool Buildings Author:Jose Peralta
“And there was a deeper, less visible effect of the Truman loyalty program. Seeing its consequences for certain individuals and fearing its intrusion on their own lives, many in the government sought protection by strongly asserting their anti-Communism. In the public action that ensued, policy was based not on reality but, instinctively or deliberately, on personal caution...Those who urged a militant and sometimes military anti-Communism were considered sound, trustworthy and personally safe; those who questioned such a course were politically unsafe, possible even slightly disloyal.” SometimesRealityGovernmentActionCertainCoursesIndividualSoundSeeingEffectsMilitaryPolicySafeConsequenceProgramDeeperProtectionLoyaltyCommunismVisibleCautionTrustworthyMilitantIntrusionUnsafeTrumanDisloyalAnti Communism Author:John Kenneth Galbraith

“Now listen to the first three aims of the corporatist movement in Germany, Italy and France during the 1920s.

This sounds like the official program of most contemporary Western governments.” PeopleFirstsIdeasBodyGovernmentThreeSocialSoundInterestChallengesGroupsEconomicMovementAreasProgramAimWesternBoundariesContemporaryFranceOfficialsGermanyInitiativeReservedEntrepreneurialFascistsPublic InterestInterest GroupsCorporatism Book:The Unconscious Civilization Source: The Unconscious Civilization
