Stossel in the Classroom essay contest

Here is another opportunity for an essay contest and here is the prompt:

Why do you think politicians make promises? When they try to keep them, why are there often unintended consequences? Describe a promise made by a current politician or political candidate from any party, and discuss whether or not they will be able to keep that promise and what, if any, are some potential unintended consequences from that promise. Please use at least one example from the Stossel special or other Stossel report to support your response.

Go to the website for more details. We will be viewing the accompanying video on December 9th (A-day) and December 12th (B-day). The essay is between 500-1000 words and is due by February 6th.
