Before, whenever we had wealth, we started discussing poverty. Why not now？ Why is the current politics of wealth and poverty seemingly about wealth alone？ Eight years ago, when Bill Clinton first ran for president, the Dow Jones average was under 3,500, yearly federal budget deficits were projected at hundreds of billions of dollars forever and beyond, and no one talked about the "permanent boom" or the "new economy." Yet in that more straitened time, Clinton made much of the importance of "not leaving a single person behind." It is possible that similar "compassionate" rhetoric might yet play a role in the general election.
But it is striking how much less talk there is about the poor than there was eight years ago, when the country was economically uncertain, or in previous eras, when the country felt flush. Even last summer, when Clinton spent several days on a remarkable, Bobby Kennedy-like pilgrimage through impoverished areas from Indian reservations in South Dakota to ghetto neighborhoods in East St. Louis, the administration decided to refer to the effort not as a poverty tour but as a "new market initiative."
What is happening is partly a logical, policy-driven reaction. Poverty really is lower than it has been in decades, especially for minority groups. The most attractive solution to it — a growing economy — is being applied. The people who have been totally left out of this boom often have medical, mental or other problems for which no one has an immediate solution. "The economy has sucked in anyone who has any preparation, any ability to cope with modem life," says Franklin D. Raines, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget who is now head of Fannie Mae. When he and other people who specialize in the issue talk about solutions, they talk analytically and on a long-term basis: education, development of work skills, shifts in the labor market, adjustments in welfare reform.
But I think there is another force that has made this a rich era with barely visible poor people. It is the unusual social and imaginative separation between prosperous America and those still left, out... It's simple invisibility, because of increasing geographic, occupational, and social barriers that block one group from the other's view.
In this passage, the word "straitened" underlined in Paragraph 1 means ______.
Elle Woods has it all. She's the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natural blonde. She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington Ⅲ. But, there's just one thing stopping Warner from popping the question: Elle is too blonde. Growing up across the street from Aaron Spelling might mean something in LA, but nothing to Warner's East-Coast blue blood family. So, when Warner packs up for Harvard Law and reunites with an old sweetheart from prep school, Elle rallies all her resources and gets into Harvard, determined to win him back. But law school is a far cry from the comforts of her poolside and the mall. Elle must wage the battle of her life, for her guy, for herself and for ail the blondes who suffer endless indignities every day.
"Legally Blonde" is an American comedy which was released in 2001 wordwide. The heroine is played by Reese Witherspoon, who does well in the movie.
In my opinion, strictly, "Legally Blonde" is a not-so-bright comedy. Why？ The combination of a beautiful but silly blonde and the strict but dull law school makes inconsistent musical notation. But I am well disposed to the lovely girl at the same time. There are a lot of reasons. For one thing, the outstanding performance of Reese Witherspoon makes a deep impression on my mind. For another, the magic and special character of the heroine Elle moves me. She is sensitive to fashion and good at making up, but not the silly Billy. Her perfect observation also lights up our eyes. When she went to visit the prisoner, with a CalvinKlein blouse, a suit of Clinique and the last Cosmo, who could doubt her ability to get the trust？ When she won the case by her experience about her life, nobody could deny that sometimes a handful of common sense was worth a bushel of learning.
"Elle Woods has it all" underlined Paragraph 1 means that ______.
