Title

Vigor And Vacillation An Early Assessment Of Bush'S Economic Policy

Abstract

Upon ascending to the presidency in January 2001, George W. Bush put domestic and international economic issues at the center of his legislative proposals, actively seeking to distance himself from his predecessor by endorsing moderately conservative economic reform, including: a $1.6 trillion income tax cut; a partial privatization of Social Security; delinking labor and environmental considerations in free trade policies; abandoning the use and threat of import fees and quotas to protect U.S. businesses; a free-trade zone of the Americas and restructuring relations with Mexico and Japan; and expanded trade promotion powers from Congress. © 2004 State University of New York.
