New Federalism by President Ronald Reagan.
January 13th, 2012
Yet another movement calling itself “Federalism” appeared within the late 20th century and early 21st century . New Federalism, which is characterized by a gradual return of power to the states, was initiated by President Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) with his “devolution revolution” in the early 1980s and lasted until 2001. Previously, the federal government had granted money to the states categorically, limiting the states to use this funding for specific programs.
Reagan’s administration, having said that, introduced a practice of giving block grants, freeing state governments to invest the funds at their own discretion. New Federalism is sometimes known as “states’ rights”, even though its proponents ordinarily eschew the latter term mainly because of its associations with Jim Crow and segregation.
Unlike the states’ rights movement of the mid-20th century which centered around the civil rights movement, the modern federalist movement is concerned far more with expansive interpretations of the Commerce Clause, as inside the areas of health marijuana (Gonzales v. Raich), partial birth abortion (Gonzales v. Carhart), gun possession (United States v. Lopez), federal police powers (United States v. Morrison, which struck down portions of the Violence Against Ladies Act), or agriculture (Wickard v. Filburn). President Bill Clinton (1993-2001) embraced this philosophy, and President George W. Bush (2001-2009) appeared to support it at the time of his inauguration.
Even as a left-leaning Chinese-Canadian, I gotta say – Reagan had STYLE.

Perhaps; I have no problem with federalism or single currency in principle, but no merit in supporting botched projects.
I remember telling my wife in 1989 as Reagan left office,”What are we going to do without him” and you know what, i’m still waiting, that void has never been filled.
Holier than thou crowd? OH you mean the Obama crowd who holds him above GOD. PLEASEEEEE.
Just because Obama, his Adminstration and the Democrat Controlled Congress and Senate are failing that is no reason to pick on Ronald Reagan and try to change what is happening RIGHT NOW.
Addiction isn't as American as apple pie it's meant to destroy Society so the Drug Lords can take control. Look at Mexico. Do you think they are saying "Drugs and Addiction is like Tacos" ? People are getting beheaded for not complying with the drug lords.

So now we'll lob bombs into a country, because the government of that country is lobbing bombs at other parts of their own country?
You're just showing an ignorance of reality.

Okaayy, I’m starting to understand where you’re coming from. So you believe that the empirical evidence used to draw the particulars of the graph doesn’t translate to the actuality of real life because are purchasing power has increased? Here I’d point you to the salient facts where in 1979 the Am worker’s average hourly wage was equal to $15.91 (adjusted for inflation in 2001 dollars). By 1989 it had reached only $16.63/hour. That’s a gain of only 7 cents a year for the entire Reagan decade…

Reagan issued an executive order in 1987 that was related to the idea of new federalism.
As I understand it, new federalism is more of a philosphy rather than a single act or order that was passed. It is a philosophy that Nixon and Reagan in particular pushed. The idea was to limit Federal government authority to interfere in the states' issues. It is sort of the opposite as the FDR's new deal philosophy of federal government involvement into states' affairs.
Bush was "the next Ronald Reagan" as the economic mess he left in his wake would attest. If by next "Ronald Reagan/George Bush" you mean a Republican that would actually get elected President? They haven't even been born yet.

Let's see…I'm 41 years old, 136 IQ and retired with honors from the United States Navy after serving on the USS Ronald Reagan. I'll bet you'll be washing dishes at age 60 and right now you're 25, still live with your mom, have your name on the Kool-Aid jug and have a “Keep Out” sign on your door.
wow, that's a tough assignment. Looks like you'll have to study federalism and "draw" your own conclusions…

I personally wouldn't mind it if these hysterical extremists in the GOP today keep doing this kind of stuff, because that will ensure their self-destruction as valid political actors. Dede Scozzafava should be awarded the “Profiles In Courage” award for what she did. She takes me back to the times when people like Dole, Kemp, Ford, and even Reagan populated the ranks of the GOP. Those were true Republicans, not the rabble calling the shots inside the GOP today, who are nothing but buffoons.
that would be a disater if he was president
Carter did not take huge cash bribes like Reagan. I do not think that Obama will take bribes but will do the rubber chicken circuit after he is out of office. He is young enough that he has a reputation to protect while Reagan did not care.
Reagan was a terrible president during his years in office were the worst for the economy and also employee was at it's rock bottom hmm it's funny how easy people forget the bad thing about a president
Thomas Jefferson once said, ‘We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.’ Ronald Reagan

Welcome to Europe, 2021 – or as Niall Ferguson likes to call it, the United States of Europe. He imagines a future that still has a euro; PIGS at 20% unemployment (but a new federalism ensures they’re still well taken care of); and the favored spot for Chinese foreign investment is a U.K. that ditched the union. 1 comment!

Reagan won, Russia lost.
But now that Clinton and Obama are on the same side as the Russians – WATCH OUT!
Think of federalism as more like an umbrella. All the states are held together underneath it.
Or with the way federal government creeps into state issues, you could draw an octopus to represent the fed and the tentacles getting down into state concerns.
1. Democrats were different back then. I didn't leave that

people outside the US would love Christie as our president because it would fuel their hatred for us. It would give them more “Americans are fat” jokes.
