Talk:Bruce Bartlett

message: Bartlett was in college from 1969 to 1973 as an undergraduate.  This timeframe encompassed the height of the Vietnam War and predated the lottery system.  Did Bartlett get a deferment and then, later, a safe lottery number?  This is relevant because pressure reveals character, and the greatest pressure on Bartlett's generation came from the Vietnam War.
:Bruce Bartlett blogged about this at http://www.capitalgainsandgames.com/blog/bruce-bartlett/1769/my-military-service
:where he says he was granted a deferment but before then, he had joined ROTC. He joined the Air Force upon graduating and was on active duty for about 90 days and was released into inactive duty.67.101.51.36 (talk) 04:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: How Did Bartlett Avoid Military Service?

message: Cut 3 paragraphs:
:Bartlett alleges that he was fired from his position at the National Center for Policy Analysis, a "conservative research group based in Dallas," for criticism of President Bush's economic policies, which he believes were anathema to the pre-existing values and beliefs espoused by the NCPA. 
:In a press release, the NCPA asserted that it had dismissed Bruce Bartlett from his role as a senior fellow at their institute after he had submitted a manuscript of his book to its president, John C. Goodman.
:While the NCPA claimed that Bartlett had reneged on an earlier promise to write a book strictly devoted to economic and tax policy-rather than a blistering polemic devoted to the perceived failings of individuals within a specific administration-Bartlett asserted that his firing was retribution for criticizing President Bush, that he had fulfilled the terms of the contract agreed upon, and that his dismissal was an illustration of how enthralled conservative pundits, members of conservative think tanks and policy institutes, and seemingly independent Republican strategists were to the dictates of the Bush administration.
Is this really a controversy? Outside the Beltway wrote:
:Bruce Bartlett, a Republican commentator who has been increasingly critical of the White House, was dismissed on Monday as a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative research group based in Dallas.
:In a statement, the organization said the decision was made after Mr. Bartlett supplied its president, John C. Goodman, with the manuscript of his forthcoming book, “The Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy.” 
Is there anyone who disputes that he was "fired"? Or that the reason for dismissal was for criticizing Bush in the manuscript he showed his boss at NCPA? --Uncle Ed 21:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No one is disputing that he was dismissed from his position, but yes, there are people who disagree-namely, his former superiors-with the allegation that he was dismissed merely because he criticized the Bush administration.  Ruthfulbarbarity 00:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lost job

message: I noticed he had a new book out, so I added a Works section as other authors have, complete with ISBNs. I would suggest those of you who have more knowledge and interest in him review and update the rest of the article, as there will probably be more views of it soon.

thread_title: The New American Economy (new book)

message: It seems possible that he is now more middle of the road, or even liberal. Let's keep an eye open for secondary sources that may turn up, saying so.144.35.45.98 (talk) 00:54, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
