1. Describe the process by which a bill becomes a law. Why do you think the process is so lengthy and cumbersome? A bill first starts as an idea, which can be started in the House of Representatives or the Senate by members of either house. The bill is then sent to a subcommittee to “mark it up.” Once they discuss and edit it, it is sent to a more general committee to be discussed and revised again.

Killed Welfare” by Premilla Nadasen we read about Bill Clinton, former Democratic President of the U.S. and how while in office, he essentially destroyed welfare in the U.S. Firstly, I just wanted to say that I was very surprised that this article was in the course packet, considering that this is a sociology class; and I’d assume most if not all sociologists are Democrats.

largest budget deficit in American history ($290 billion) in 1992 (when Clinton was elected) to having a budget surplus of $127 billion when he left office in 2001.

The crime rate fell every year that Clinton was president and was at a 26-year low by the end of his…

that “if Clinton had been able to run for re-election, he would have won easily” with both the Democratic nomination, and the presidency. This came as a result of the fact that Clinton could take the credit for the achievements of his administration and good economic state the country was currently in.
