Reality Leakage:  Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a Democrat who held significant positions in the Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford administrations. He also represented New York in the U.S. Senate from 1977 to 2001.

In 1994, the Senate debated Bill Clinton’s “Goals 2000” legislation. Among other things, it promised - not suggested working toward or trying, but promised - that America’s high school graduation rate would be 90% and that American students would lead the world in math and science achievements.

At that time, Moynihan stated that those goals illustrated the “leakage of reality from American life.”
