thread_title: New Federalism

message: I'm looking at my history book right now, and it says that Reagan actually called his philosophy New Federalism, so I think that this article should mention him.  While it does mention the federal government giving block grants, which are less restrictive than categorical grants, it fails to include that Reagan pursuaded congress to do this.
Mention of Ronald Reagan is imerpative here, as is a clean-up to make this article more encyclopedic.
AMEN

replies: text: Nixon was pushing new federalism in 1971. Why is this article being transformed to claim that Reagan invented new federalism over a decade later? -- kainaw™ 22:44, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Need Reagan

message: Curious why these bills in particular, after noticed that User:204.38.225.77 [added] the USA PATRIOT Act without a link.  Was going to remove it, then I realized I'm not sure why any of these bills are related to New Federalism.  
Two of them don't have functional links, so I don't know what they are, the last seems to have no relation, unless I'm missing something.  Certainly the PATRIOT Act is no worse.   Any rate, could somebody add something explaining how the bills are related?  If they're not related, I doubt they belong. --71.192.116.13 00:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Related Legislation

message: The actual effect of the policies enacted under the auspices of The New Federalism were nearly the opposite of those it touted as its goals.  Beginning with Regan the diminished flow of federal funding eliminated money for states to provide much of the social assistance that they had been able to provide previous to these changes.  The following administrations built on these fundamental changes and gradually property taxes increased and states capacities to provide even basic maintenance of roads and other public services declined.  While the ability to delineate evidence that would make this fact rather than opinion it seems clear to me that this was the beginning of a body of policies that were deliberately aimed at the republican deconstruction of social programs created by FDR and others.  While change was needed a better result might have been provided by ideas closer to those of the Roosevelt administration than those culminating in G.W. Bush and the destruction of the middle class as well as the creation of an economic boom that was and is unsustainable and is now ending in recession.  i am sure that there are many who can more clearly elucidate the specific policies, the authors and effects of each than I.  It is my hope that his inclusion will lead to a better understanding of the view I am trying, albeit inadequately to espouse.  Pndrgn99 (talk) 16:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The New Federalism and its Impact

message: Why is this called "federalism" if it's anti-federal? -Branddobbe (talk) 12:17, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It transfers power from the federal government to the states - which is federal (ie: the power resides in a federation of states, not in a central government). -- kainaw™ 22:43, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: I don't get it

message: I was reading through the article and at the end of the first paragraph it claims that FDR's New Deal expanded government power but does not give an example or source. I am not doubting that the New Deal did increase the power of the federal government during the 1930s and proceeding decades, but I think a source with the exact new deal things that Nixon wanted to overturn could add much value to the article.
