Summary
With our newly elected president in the White House and trying to make big changes and show America he meant what he was campaigning Trump seems to be make huge budget cuts to many areas of our country. While on the other hand he is giving additional funding to some areas too. Of the many areas that the budget is being cut education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State department, health and human services, transportation, and the list goes on and on. Of those the two major ones that stand out are the Environmental Protection Agency, which is being slashed by almost thirty-two percent and the State department being cut by nearly twenty-nine percent (Kopan). “Virtually every agency will see some sort of cut, with only

With this increase in government spending on defense gear and construction materials it will cause a multiplier effect because in order for those products to be made they will need other companies to do parts of the process. There would be an increase in those goods being bought so you would need more of the supplies to make them and more employees, which is how the multiplier effect works. The increase in government spending for these two areas (fiscal policy) would make the aggregate demand curve shift to the right (Diagram 1). This increase in government spending also causes price level and the gross domestic product (GDP) to increase and an inflationary gap will be created due to this increase (Diagram 2) as long as we’re at equilibrium with the long run aggregate supply (LRAS), short run aggregate supply (SRAS), and aggregate demand (AD). However, with the cuts in so many other areas this will decrease government spending dealing with each of them. Completely counteracting every bit of growth from increasing spending in defense and immigration enforcement. Since, President Trump is cutting education, the Environmental Protection Agency, transportation, and more every thing dealing with those areas will also cut back in spending to stay on budget. These decreases in government spending causes a multiplier effect as well, but not how we want it. It’s taking away from
According to Baddour (2017), This article is about how the President proposed a budget cut that would cut funding for certain community block grants. The budget cut will affect the senior citizens of America. The proposed budget cuts will affect the Meals on Wheels program in Houston, Texas that serves our senior citizens. The Meals on Wheels program is a cheaper reliable way to feed the seniors. The President proposed budget cut also cuts funding for other federal programs such as, the Women Infants and Children nutrition program (WIC), the Supplemental Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), National Institute of Health (NIH) and after school programs. There is a proposed $6 billion cut to the NIH and a $3.7 billion cut to after school programs.
The governments mainly reduce spending cuts and increases tax on both the nation and firms, and back to applying economics belief, the action will only cause a contraction of the aggregate demand of the whole economy, hence, reducing GDP. It is reported that the fiscal measure includes a 60 percent revenue and 40 percent spending cuts. These actions, has decreased the willingness of firms and companies to invest since the after-tax return has been reduced. Next, the of cutting government spending can also mean less jobs for the peoples in the public sector. Unemployment rate increasing from 9.4% to 11.3% (Ferreira.Joana,2017). Using the multiplier effect will be the best to explain, when there is less jobs for the people, it will mean no income for the unemployed and a drop in purchasing power, more importantly it will be very hard for the people to pay the high taxes. It is also reported that the bailout money has all been used to repay the banks instead of using it to correct the
In the general purposes of the three inaugural addresses of FDR, JFK and Barack Obama, they were focused on appreciating the constitutional process which involves the inauguration of the U.S president. For example, recently, President Obama stated in his speech that people gathers each year to observe the enduring strength of the U.S and the act of democracy. FDR also appreciated the need for the inauguration in upholding the constitutional values and cultures.
The chapter begins by explaining how Cecilia Munoz, an immigration advocate was working towards immigration reform in the White House in the early 2000’s. The author notes that news had broken that President Bush had met with Mexican President Vicente Fox to collaborate on plans to provide status to 3 million undocumented immigrants who were living in the U.S. Views from the White House put a stop to immigration reform plans and geared their focus on decreasing immigration patterns. After the terroristic attacks of 9/11 the topic of immigration took a different turn. Immigrants had yet another target on their backs, being labeled as potential terrorists. A shift in immigration had taken place after the attacks. Many people and organizations
3). Trump further pointed out that large fractions of the US annual budgets are set aside to finance the international economic obligations of the country. As such, the Republicans pointed out that cutting such parts of the budget would help to boost the American economy and to reduce budget deficits.
The importance of this article is Women's Right are equal to human rights. Donald Trump saying was “Make America Great Again” but my question is what does it mean because nothing was great. For example Women did have rights as a whole while men fought in war boys could be sent to War before puberty. This relates to history for example Susan B. Anthony who fought for women's right. I would just like to finish off is this is history and I stand with all the women who march or would have been there to march.
The biggest cut I made to the national budget was the national resources and environment. This would effect environmentalists, and government departments such as the Environmental Protection Agency. I made this cut, because I felt that there were other areas in the government that needed more attention and priority. I decreased the national resources and environmental spending from 41.6 to 35.6.
In tight budget times and with 3/4 of Virginia's budget being nondiscretionary, what programs would you be in favor of cutting? What programs would you oppose cutting?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 guarantees protection from workplace discrimination for individuals of all ages, sexes, disabilities, genetic information, colors, races, religions, and national origins; however, policy differs by state. Thirteen of fifty states have no protection, while only nine out of fifty have advanced policies. According to The Huffington Post, “Alabama doesn’t have any workplace protection laws” (HuffPost Partner Studio).
In March 2017, President Donald Trump released a proposed budget for fiscal year 2018 (“FY 2018”), after which alarm bells rang in response to proposed federal funding cuts to such agencies as the Department of Education (13.5%) and Environmental Protection Agency (31.4%), and also its outright elimination of federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) (Krieg & Mullery, 2017).
The year 2014, President Obama presents the State of the Union, this is his 5th address to Congress. The State of the Union address, is an annual message to Congress in which the president reports on the state of the nation and outlines a legislative program every year. Throughout the speech he addresses major topics; foreign policy, unemployment and, etc. Obama calls 2014 is the “year of action”. Calling both parties to help make this a breakthrough year in the United States by bringing back more good jobs and expanding opportunities for the middle class. The overall performance of President Obama's speech is excellent, at the start he was inclusive, to include every possible demographic, mentioning major controversial topics, minimum wage, foreign policy, and he focuses on the future, doing what they can do to improve quality of the nation's future.
President Barack Obama gave his 2014 State of the Union speech last week and as everyone was expected, the economy was the main dish on the table. Obama talked also about other problems such as, military operations; however, all these problems are related to the economy. I believe Mr. President’s speech could be divided into three parts: dealing with the economy, then a shorter segment on other domestic initiatives, and concluding with a summary of military operations.
Syntax: “the study of the rules for the formation of grammatical sentences in a language” (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/syntax). The idea of analyzing the grammar in a poem, one of the few pieces of literature that finds a lack of attention grammar acceptable, many would find it to be absurd, although in reality it much about the reality it is quite the opposite. The amount of attention to detail actually reveals how far in depth the writer is in touch with their emotion and/or thought of their own mind they are entrenched in. Throughout the majority of the poem the author interchanges between proper grammar to problematic sentences; including fragments, sentence fragments, run
The George W. Bush administration was riddled with many tragic events, from natural disasters to terrorist attacks, and economic hardships that made lasting impressions of the American peoples’ perceptions of our government and the world outside of the United States’ boundaries. The six people who conducted this research, George Shambaugh, Richard Matthew, Roxane C. Silver, Bryan McDonald, Michael Poulin, and Scott Blum, set out to discover how the before mentioned events effected the group unit of analysis, “U.S. Public”, views towards our government, the media, terrorism, and their overall outlook on America’s future. It had appeared that they had the predetermined notion that because of terrorist attacks and natural disasters the U.S. public would be pessimistic and afraid foreign countries. Other suggested hypothesis were that peoples’ independent identities affect their perception of national and personal threat, outlook for the future, trust in the government, and approval of policies passed in our nation’s difficult times in a way that creates a noticeable divide at these identities. Although, neither of these hypothesis seem to be true.
This zero-sum game is a ruse—an excuse to eliminate, voucherize, and privatize government safety programs conservative don’t like. It is easier to claim the government has grown too big: this resonates with voters. And make oversized government budget the motivating factor underscoring both cuts to reward the 1 percent and punish failure (the poor). In addition, the solution to a gargantuan government is to apply fiscal discipline to the budget. There are exception of course: just wars can justify busting the budget. In any event, Congress can argue that these cuts are necessary to tame a wayward budget. Therefore, recently the Congress took a knife to the swath of the budget perceived to reward failure. A quote from the New York Times on the Congressional vote on March 27, 2015 encapsulates the asymmetric impact on the poor of cutting $5.5 trillion in spending to balance the budget in 10 years:
