Abstract
This paper studies foreign trade policy during the Clinton administration. The paper analyzes decisions and actions in two of Clinton's top priority areas: (1) the trade imbalance between the U.S. and Japan and (2) the trade status of China. The paper begins by discussing U.S.-Japanese relations, including their impact on financial instability in Asia. The paper attempts to understand how increased stability would behoove the U.S. and how attempting to affect that change would impact fiscal policy regarding Japan. Then the paper turns to U.S.-China relations, focusing on Clinton's desire to bestow Most Favored Nation status on China, in order to increase and improve trade. The paper weighs the benefit of increased trade against the cost of China's human rights violations.

From the Paper
"There are many doom-sayers in the U.S. predicting that what was the southeast Asian financial crisis of several years ago, will reemerge in Japan in an even more catastrophic way, which would seriously impact trade agreements, import/export statistics and even the average American consumer who buys millions of Japanese-made products, from computers to microwave ovens. What made the situation in Japan worse than experts anticipated was the steady fall of the Japanese exchange rate, falling by more than 10% from March, 1998 through June. At the same time, Japan entered a recession, registering negative growth in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998."

Abstract
This report introduces the issues of fiscal balance in terms of problems faced by the Clinton administration and identifies alternative solutions. The paper also looks at existing literature on the subject and related issues, such as Clinton's financial advice to Japanese leaders and various interpretations of political occurrences of the time. The methodology of the report concentrates on financial data derived from existing literature, with an eye on the reduction of bias through a balanced report. Additionally, the paper analyzes data and discusses questions of how balance was achieved and provides recommendations for the future in terms of fiscal policy that can be derived from extant data.

From the Paper
"The reduction of deficit and fiscal balance was particularly highlighted in the later years of the Clinton administration, but it may have had roots in the beginning of the administration in terms of the background of the policies which went into effect regarding government spending and tax revenue. When Clinton came into office, he had ideas about overhauling spending which were soon put into practice so that spending could be increased and tax cuts for the wealthy would not be a big part of the program. There was significant dissonance between this vision, which also included extensive healthcare and welfare reform, and the vision of the mostly-Republican Congress which was in office for most of Clinton's years in office, and this also adds substantially to the
background of fiscal policy. For example, Clinton's programs were more likely to be slowed down in Congress by this type of system."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis and response to the book "From the Center to the Edge: The Politics and Policies of the Clinton Presidency" (Brown & Littlefield: 2002) by author William C. Berman. In this work, Berman provides a brief account of the Clinton Administration, with an emphasis on how Clinton addressed a wide range of diverse political issues to such an extreme that he was often stretched thin in terms of his attention span and his resources

Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of the power of the presidency and the political skills needed to be a successful president. The paper argues that there are two types of politics the president must master, retail and wholesale. Retail politics is face to face contact in the smoke filled rooms. The paper claims that in our age of modern media, wholesale politics has become often more important when it comes to getting elected. Campaigns focus on the media and the candidate must win the media battle. The paper also examines how the Clinton administration used the power of the presidency with examples of a policy success and failure. Furthermore, the politics behind healthcare reform and NAFTA are examined.

"CHANGES IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DURING THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION

Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the changes in the unemployment rate during the term of President Clinton who concludes his second term in office in the year 2000. This analysis will consist of the following parts: a) factors affecting unemployment rate; (b) relationship of inflation to job growth; and (c) impact of minimum wage on unemployment.

Factors Affecting Unemployment Rate
There are numerous factors affecting the job market in the United States: size and education of the work force, technology that replaces workers, industry changes and so on. The major ..."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the US Federal Budget during the Clinton administration and how he reduced the deficit to a surplus amount in 1998. He moves on to discuss the changing American economy and provides examples of why he considers that there are times in a nation's life when deficits are necessary and even beneficial. The author suggests that use of debt spending during wars and times of recession help to boost the economy but can be detrimental to the Stock Market. He further examines levels of taxation and compares the effect that different administrations have had on the federal deficit.

From the paper:

"Determining the correct, or economically benign, level of deficit and debt is a subject for endless debate. Economies do not operate by a simple law of cause and effect, of plus and minus, of deficit and surplus. They are complex interweaving of many economic and psychological factors, both domestic and international. Although a huge deficit is never to be praised, there are times in a nation's life when deficits are necessary and even beneficial."

Abstract
This paper explains that Clinton was able to amass a great deal of the international clout and political capital over the latter course of his first term and early in his second terms, partly because of the relative strength of the American economy and partly due to his new vitality as a leader of substance. The paper states, however, that this was all undone by a series of various scandals of both a political and personal kind that resulted in Clinton becoming the first president since Andrew Johnson to be impeached and tried.

From the Paper
"When the former Governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton came to power, world opinion as to his foreign policy competency was fairly negative. This was only to be expected, perhaps, given that the recently deposed first President Bush was not only a vice president before he assumed the presidency, but was a former director of the CIA and an ambassador to China under Richard Nixon. Clinton had campaigned with the homespun, America-focused slogan 'it's the economy, stupid,' and his domestically oriented past career made him appear like anything but a statesman. "(BBC, 2001) Clinton was keenly aware of the recession, and his first campaign offered change and focused on the economy and the high unemployment rate. He promised health-care reform, tax cuts for the middle class and tax increases for the wealthy, and reductions in defense spending." (Rozell, 2005) However, Clinton seemed to offer little coherent vision for the post Cold War's increasingly fractious and divisive world."

Abstract
The paper relates that President Clinton in 1996 signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). that encompassed portability, fraud, abuse, tax provisions, group plan requirements revenue provisions and administrative requirements all relating to health insurance (McGuire and Schneider, 2007). The paper explains that the goal of HIPPA was to create national standards that would protect the individual's right to privacy as it relates to medical records and personal health information. The paper asserts that HIPPA is a legislated protection of an individual's right to confidentiality; individuals have a legal right to assume and expect confidentiality. The paper argues that the health care system has the responsibility to legally protect the rights of the individual to have confidentiality guaranteed. The paper asserts that in order to deconstruct the issue of nursing confidentiality and HIPPA, legal and ethical need to be clearly defined (Galambos, 2003).
