Dr. Vic & Class Danielle I aggree with your statement. I would like to add an out of box suggestion though. In my Navy career I notice that alot of military bases are in areas that are underprivileged. So furthermore the goverment is helping the local economy by providing a base which provides jobs to the local economy. Usually bases have local businesses that are contractors for that base. As a example local maintance repairs such as plumbing, roofing, and general upkeep for the buildings on the base.
There are many different industries nationwide, each and every one of us depend on these industries in one way or the other. Weather we work for them, they provide food, water, prescription drugs, etc., more than likely many industries provide supplies us to work and keep our jobs.
The military was founded in 1775 in order to fight Great Britain. The small army was led by appointed commander George Washington. Ever since its establishment, the military has continued to increase. The United States currently has about 1.3 million active troops and an additional 865,000 troops in reserve - it is the world’s third largest military. The US also has a large global presence with troops deployed in over 170 countries including South Korea, Italy, Afghanistan, and Japan.
Goods and Ideas have moved from one place to another throughout history. The changes that resulted from the movement of these goods and ideas have significantly influenced groups of people, societies, and regions. Two examples of such goods and ideas are gunpowder and Islam. Gunpowder significantly influenced Europe while Islam made a major impact in the Middle East.
While this appears to be a good datapoint in that it is a direct correlation to “butter” related activities. Training is relative to education and compensation is relative to pay and benefits. A number of questions which arise: If 80% of the military budget is relative to “butter” related activities, and 20% is being spent for direct defense related efforts, then why are these costs included in the defense budget? Would shifting the costs for military training be better suited at the Department of Labor (current budget of $11.8 billion)? Would shifting the costs for compensation related healthcare be better situated at the Department of Health and Human Services (current budget s $77.1 billion) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (current budget s $65.3 billion)?
Right now, hundreds of thousands of residents are on the edge of losing their jobs. They are our neighbors and our friends. They pay taxes and invest their time and energy into making their communities better places to live.
There is many different reasons, but a huge one being our education. Everyone needs education, and free is always better! Social Security and Medicare are another huge impact from the federal government. The people that get back taxes and child earned income credit that helps them out with their children. It helps people not have to live in poverty. It is kind of a balanced out ordeal throughout the united States. The Federal Government has a huge financial playing role in a lot of everything that goes on in the United States of
1) How have Cisco’s channels evolved in the last 10-15 years? Why have they evolved that way?
Whether events in the 1970s and 1980s have borne out President Eisenhower's warning to the American people. During the 1970s and 1980s, America spent more money on military security than the net income of all United States corporations. The government was building up armed forces to combat the Soviet Union until its collapse.
As citizens of the United States of America we must pay taxes to the government. The government takes these taxes and distributes them among different areas to fund each are; one of the highest percentages of spending goes to defense. The whopping amount of around 610 billion dollars makes the United States’ military the largest in the world, so large that its funding out-weighs the next seven highest spending countries. The problem with this is that the military does not really solve the large amount of very important domestic affairs; in fact we barely see the fruits of it. There are many reasons why we should cut down on the percentage spent on defense and focus more on other areas.
Before and during the war our trade was severely interrupted and negatively affected which resulted in the need for Americans to rely on themselves to make many of the products they had previously depended on importation for. Because the States were no longer purchasing from other countries and paying high taxes, but buying and selling to their own people, the economy was lifted. Previous to the start of the War and all throughout, the economy was in sad shape. Due to the result of the war and uneasy ties with Britain, by doing business within itself America was lifted a little out of the huge hole which the War of 1812 and previous wars created.
1. After reading Euthyphro and analyzing the contradiction that Socrates poses I believe that monotheism does solve the stated contradiction. With a belief in a god(s) what is holy and unholy is not based on the action we committed but is rooted in what the god(s) find holy and unholy. With polytheism, any effort to be entirely holy will be fruitless as there will always be a god(s) that views your actions as unholy. With monotheism, there is only one god to decide what is holy and unholy and is easy to judge any action committed.
They contribute to the economy by purchasing goods, food, clothing, housing, cars and other services that are regularly required. This spending will increase the supply and demand in the national economy to provide more products and services which will create the new jobs, business, entrepreneurships and will strengthen the U.S. economy.
“The United States spent $598.5 billion dollars alone on the military in 2015. That is 54% of all spending in 2015. The US only spent $70 billion (6%) on education and $13.1 billion (1%) on food and agriculture.” (“Military Spending”). This shows what Americans really value.
Donald Trump’s audacious administration is actually proposing a budget for 2018 that increases military spending by 54 billion dollars!(4) To make this feasible massive cuts have to be made to the detriment of bureaucratic organizations such as: the department of education, the EPA, department of labor, housing and urban development department. To give that number a frame of reference, the estimated cost of providing tuition free public universities under the 2016 Sanders plan is approximately 75 billion dollars.(5) We already have nearly eight hundred military bases around the world, do we really need to allocate more resources to this department in which we already have the ability to act unilaterally on a global scale with impunity?(6) Or are there other departments in our society that could benefit more from an influx in funding?
Private businesses could not sell national defense to citizens and continue to stay in business, therefore is considered to be a public good. Selling defense services to those who are willing to pay for it and protecting them and not protecting those who refuse to contribute paying, could not be possible by any means. These individuals are considered as "free riders," which will not generally pay for something they can get free. That is the foremost reason national defense must be administered by the government and paid for through taxes.
