“For anyone, who didn’t experience the Wall, it will be hard to imagine what an overwhelming feeling of relief, of joy, of unreality filled one that this monster was dead, and people had conquered it. The years of degrading searches at border crossings, the loved ones who were walled in on the eastern side. [East Germany’s] restrictions, regulations, bureaucratic border formalities, the dogs and soldiers with machine guns, the main streets cut off suddenly by this cold, hard cement wall—all of this was suddenly defeated, and one could dance on its dead body or chip off a piece of it with a hammer. Just days before, either action might have meant arrest or even being shot. I tell you, it was a giddy, delirious feeling—even for someone completely sober.

I moved to the eastern edge of the Wall and sat down with my feet dangling into East Berlin. I chatted with a 19-year-old East German boy from the countryside of Thuringia. He asked me to describe the skyscrapers of New York. I tried, but eventually told him: ‘You have to see it yourself. And now you can.’

The next day, I returned to Potsdamer Platz.The Mauer-Spechte (Wall-Woodpeckers) were already well at work chipping away at it. In a few places, they had even broken through the cement. I was quite fit and in my late 20s at the time, and when one guy put down a large sledge-hammer-like pole, I asked if I could borrow it. He let me and I started bashing the Wall. A group of people formed around me and started clapping rhythmically. Variously sized bits of cement chipped off and fell. Someone took a piece and gave it to—at that time former—West Berlin Mayor Diepgen, who happened to be passing by. I kept on as long as I could, then gave the pole. Walked over to a curb stone. Sat down and wept.”

Answer 4

12. Link Past and Present In 2001, President George W. Bush signed the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA). This bill called for large tax cuts just as the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 had and largely benefited the wealthiest Americans. President Bush’s approach to economics was very similar to that of President Reagan’s. Explain the assumptions behind the theory of supply-side economics, and describe the consequences of Reaganomics. (10 points
