Price of bond inversely related to interest rate: high interest rate is bad for the economy, they should be buying bonds. Policies can effect politics and vice versa, but you know that. Filibuster not allowed on judicial affairs: majority of the senate can adjust the rules, why is the filibuster being eroded now, informal rules vs. formal, legislative rules, weapon for minority in the senate. Foreign policy: prior to ww2- isolation , after ww2 increasingly involved in world affairs. Benefits for workers, old people, poor people get a seat at the table.
