Just one more word on the subject. You know, im sure, you know, as a fellow political scientist, you agree with the generalizations are true until they are not, and so one of the interesting things about the reagan tax reform, of course, is that it was not the first two yearings of the first term. It was the first two years the second term, making it all the more imprezzive, and i think this is one of many respects in which our current circumstances are really driving a sense of whats possible. I mean, based on the past two administrations, one is led to the first two year conclusion, but, of course, bill clinton achieved what is arguably the biggest domestic success in the second term. So i would not i think it would be really unfortunate if we came to the conclusion, you know, that sort of like waste dna, the last six years of a president s term are wasted time; right . I hope we can govern ourselves in a higher proportion than that. You know, i agree. So large change, i think, well,
We could find ways to address that and honestly they werent all my ideas. George walker and barbara and others were involved in developing those ideas, democrats and republicans developing those ideas in virginia. Because i believe there are bigger problems within our system and our system is not unique. I think there are problems in systems all over the country. That is why i pushed the study resolution. This was just an incremental change. We change an important piece of the Mental Health picture but the real work lies ahead. We have to reform the system and our work will be a failure unless we do. We have to use this opportunity of the study resolution to spend four years working very hard, very intensely at the virginia process. We have to see what works and what doesnt and we have to come back with real changes over the next four years. In virginia at least its incremental to change that we passed. Did it go far enough . Well i think we change what we could change this year. Polit
