Thank you and (first post Post APL/G)

...and you thought the articles would end just because the semester is over. Article in today's Washington Post about Pres. Obama's attempt to create more bureaucracy to deal with the current budget crisis (what!? you weren't aware of our budget crisis!)
This article has all kinds of good stuff that was referenced and studied intently during the semester. Ironically no member of Congress wants his name on a commission that might be forced to raise more revenue or cut spending on entitlements during an election year. What would Machiavelli say about this???

I will continue to post sources I think might be of benefit to you in your preparation for the AP Gov't test in May. I am rooting for all 3's and 4's with a 5 or two.

Thanks, for a great semester and all the best in the future. I came to JM to teach this class and every year I think just how lucky I am get to work with and help further cultivate such great minds. Continue to work hard and remember "nothing in life worth earning comes without hard work"

Lastly, don't forget, you must come back and visit when you have earned your fame.

Mr. THompson
