America’s Camelot –
The assassin’s bullet did more than fatally wound our thirty-fifth President. It also delivered a death blow to America’s love affair with our First Family. John F. Kennedy served as President for only one thousand days, but he left an inedible imprint on the nation as a whole.
This booklet begins with a challenge to the people to, “Ask not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country.” He met the challenge of a sagging economy with a tax revision that has served as a model for later Presidents. Unfortunately, his implementation of Keynesian Economics resulted in a blueprint for a more intrusive role in government planning of the American economy. Though Kennedy jump-started the economic system, his Keynesian policy resulted in millions of dollars in deficit spending which set the stage for trillions of dollars of national debt that would pile up over the years to come.
Kennedy was challenged without by the Soviets in the Cuban crisis and within by civil unrest. His tragic death left Vice President Johnson with a trial that he could not overcome.
One may not agree with his politics, but Kennedy’s speeches are worth reading.
