Today we talked a little more about Kennedy, and listened to some sweet sound bytes with Kennedy's silk-like Adonis voice.
Bruns mentioned that a lot of the people we're fighting now, our CIA brought into power years ago, by way of assassinations and what not.
In 1963, the U.S. signed the Nuclear test ban treaty.
So, ya know how FDR had the new deal, and Truman had the fair deal? Kennedy had the "New Frontier" which
Promised funding for:
Education
Elderly Med Care
Economic aid to farmers
Halt Recession
End Racial Descrimination
Johnson did most of those things though, because Kennedy died.
Anyways, in 1961 the Peace Corps was etablished, and Kennedy signed the equal pay act of 1963, so men and women could make the same amount of money. Then Bruns played the Moonshot speech, where keneddy promised to land a man on the moon by th end of the decade.
We then talked about the Kennedy assassination. It was....gruesome.
