Here's a post-1940s question.


What "promise" did Eisenhower make when he ran for President in 1952?

Did he keep it?

I think it's actually permanent foreign alliances...

eisenhower or washington, CYP? Which are you talking about?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 5/2/05 at 10:03pm

Was that the thing where he said he was liberal with people and conservative with money and economics?


I think it is entangling AND permanent alliances.

Sorry, Ashley, Washington.

Eisenhower's Campaign Promise Was "I Shall Fly To Korea" (and presumably end the Korean conflict).

And he DID do BOTH of those things.


Another post-1940s Question:


Which President advocated the "Trickle-Down" Theory"


What was it suppossed to accomplish?

Hmm I know Hoover did but that's obviously not post-40's...

[ashley0139]

Trickle down was Reagan, right? Cause it was also called Reaganomics or something.

I'm not sure who it was (Nixon, maybe?) but wasn't it a theory that money will eventually "trickle down" from the wealthy to the poor if so&so happens... can't rmember what so&so is, though...

Three cheers for M_E. Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!

[ashley0139]

So what's the answer M_E? The suspense is killing me.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

***aw shucks LF***


The "trickle-down" Theory was proported by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.

Reagan theorized that if you gave lots of financial support to Corporate America--this would boost the Economy because these companies would need to hire more people--THUS helping the Middle Class--because there would be more jobs.

It... did not work.


BTW, Hoover relied upon the advice of Corporate Leaders to get through the Depression. They advised him to do nothing, that "bad times" had a way of "working themselves out".


So while Hoover was President, he did virtualy... nothing.


What was the cause of the Mexican War?

YAY! I was right about Reagan!

Cause of Mexican War: annexation of TX?

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 5/2/05 at 10:17pm

What time is the test tomorrow?

[ashley0139]

Posted: 5/2/05 at 10:17pm

The Mexican war was that we wanted Texas so we said that they invaded us but they really didn't so that we could go to war with them to get texas?

ooo, can i join the study group?

i'm just before the mexican war in my studying but wasn't it texas and the spot resolution (lincoln) and all and the border dispute w/ the rio grande and texas (but i don't see how it could have been a dispute b/c wasn't the border set at the river in the treaty of san lorenzo before?)

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Umm, didn't Polk kind of "make up" an excuse to go to war, because Americans were attacked in disputed territory, so he declared war? He wanted to expandexpandexpand...
