• Bell Work-) In your own words please describe who Richard Nixon identifies as the “voice of the great majority of Americans, the forgotten Americans, the non-shouters, the non-demonstrators”? 2.) What are some of the problems Nixon has identified as “the problem of order in the United States”? Why do you think given the specific time period that Nixon was running he chose to shine a light on these particular issues? 3.) Reflect on Nixon’s feeling towards government programs for the unemployed, programs for the cities, programs for the poor where he responded by saying “…it’s time to quit pouring billions of dollars into programs that have failed in the United States of America”. In your opinion, what might be several options that could be a more sustainable option than paying government subsidies to economically impoverished citizens in the form of welfare or food stamps?
