An effect of globalization during the Clinton administration was, Clinton was reelected in
1996 after a failed attempt at health care reform. His presidency saw the passage of welfare reform in the Personal Responsibility and Work. Opportunity Act, which ended the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program, and reduced the number of welfare programs overall. Clinton's presidency included a great period of economic growth in America's history. In proposing a plan to cut the deficit, Clinton submitted a budget that would cut the deficit by $500 billion over five years by reducing $255 billion of spending and raising taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of Americans. Clinton supported the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he signed into law in 1994. Socially, the administration began with efforts by Clinton to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, which culminated in a compromise known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” The policy theoretically allowed gays and lesbians to serve in the military if they did not disclose their sexual orientation (the policy was later repealed in 2010). However, Clinton also signed the Defense of Marriage Act, considered by many to be a blow to the LGBT rights movement.
Hope it helps, have a great day!
