Vice Presidential Debate Analysis

“Number one, we should look for some significant structural plan to reduce government spending…The debt ceiling historically has been among the best leverage that Congress has to rein in the executive…So the president’s demand, jack up the country’s credit card with no limits

“Ten Trillion and Counting,” presented by Frontline provides quite a picture of America’s national debt as it surpasses the trillion dollar mark. They ponder the financial well being of current and future retirees while also exposing on how America got into this mess, and what the Obama administration plans to do during his term. America is able to close the gap year to year in its national budget by selling bonds and T-bills. Foreigner countries who continually purchase these obligations are beginning to grow. Much like the Bush administration, the Obama administration has started borrowing big with plans to cut the budget years down the road. It is clear for anyone to see that this borrowing and the future promises of cutting cannot go

He build a team that can trust him and that he can trust. He perform well under pressure and communicate effectively especially when asked tough questions. He is very open-minded and willing to listen yet he will speak his mind if he feels what he hears is not in the best interest of the public. Steven pays very close attention to even the most minute details and carry little note card with detail of all the key polls in each of the battleground he attend. Steven does not believe in smooching up to the big corporations and private organizations or the top 1% of the wealthiest Americans because they do not represent the majority of Americans in this country. He believes in fairness and hard-working, sweat earning dollars not hand-out and bribery from the wealthiest Americans trying to control our political

During the Donald Trump campaign, he proposed that he would build a wall at the Mexican border to keep immigrants from crossing

Fixing the national debt is a coservercal issue within our government. Since the two parties have opposing views on how to fix it, it creates gridlock on the process of creating a plan to reduce it. (Perdue, 2015) Our federal government debt has extensively tripled since the year 2000 (see appendix A) (Historical Debt Outstanding Annual 2000-2015,2015), today our debt is a tad bit over nineteen billion. (U.S.NationalDebtClock.org , 2016) We have arrived at his point through the imbalance between revenues and spending, fueled by ever-high interest rates. Which will approximately result with us reaching ninety percent of GDP. (Greife, 2010) The government has no revenue. Therefore, the money it receives comes from the people and the

Debt is nothing new to the United States government. Ever since 1790 when Alexander Hamilton successfully convinced the congress to assume state debt the US has had a constant record of debt. This type of budget issue has been a constant leadership challenge to every US President. The Obama administration continues this trend of deficit and debt which has created the highest total federal debt in US history. . There are unique challenges and decisions every US President has had to make in regards to the budget and the economic success of the United States. Whether you agree or disagree with decisions made by President Obama there is a particular pressure that comes with trying to work across party lines to get support from those who disagree with his priorities. When President Obama entered office he took over a historically high debt and deficit during a time of an economic disaster. The new President inherited the challenge of balancing the budget and reducing debt while still spending to increase future economic growth. Though there are many aspects of concern regarding the federal budget, Obama’s main efforts coming into the White House were to increase tax revenue, by closing loopholes for the wealthy and adjusting previous tax measures, while reducing income inequality, increasing educational spending and providing universal health care.

Ryan Zinke a Montana rep, who Donald Trump wants to lead in the Interior department. A “ Freshman Republican.” The New York Times calls him, but before he go into politics he was a Navy SEAL. Until 2008, he has earned two bronze stars for his courageous acts in combat. Ryan was happy to be home and see his three kids, later joining into politics. Ryan uses a lot of what he learned as a Navy SEAL that helped him with congress. Ryan says “ It’s fixable.” that in war you have to operate as a team to survive, and in congress it’s the same. Ryan is on Trump’s crazy train, because he thinks he is here to make this country better.

Trump has planned to take control of America's illegal immigration and to protect America from taking in enemy migrants from other countries by having 2 proposals when he became elected president. And those proposals are the Deportation policy and the Travel ban.

There are different ideas on how to deal with America’s national debt. An option that

Trump was spoken to by Mr. Wallace of ABC News. Mr. Trump started out talking about the Supreme Court. Mr. Trump said “ The Supreme Court, its whats its all about”. ‘’Our country is so imperative that we have the right justices. We need a supreme court that in my opinion is going to uphold the Second Admendment, and all other amendments. However the Second Admendment is under absolute seige’’.

Both Clinton and Trump talk about investing in infrastructure, but only Clinton has a realistic way of raising the money to pay for it. The Democrat proposes tax cuts for the middle class and encouraging job creation in renewable energy and high-tech industries. The Republican relies on the familiar mantra of tax cuts for the wealthy, reducing regulations and repealing the inheritance tax that only applies now to estates worth more than $5.45 million. His pledges to revive the coal and steel industries are fantasies.

Trump doesn’t follow this process. When he was asked about the foreign policy issues, he didn’t answer directly. He escaped the questions again and again. The only thing he insists is making America great. But he doesn’t have any preparation to implement this goal. Also, he said he would renegotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership, relations with China, the Iran nuclear deal, and the partnerships with key allies. I doubt about his negotiation skills. He doesn’t show any knowledge about these international issues. I don’t think he can negotiate with the others. The preparation is an important stage when you try to achieve a good result. You have to know about the problem and consider how to get win-win between the parties.

Democrats don’t seek to cripple the nation with debt. But they do aim to preserve

He does have that experience thing going for him. I wonder if he, like Reagan,

In today’s society, the national debt is a hot topic. Many, like myself, view the national debt as a problem. However, though some oppose the national debt in words, their actions indicate otherwise. To illustrate, statistics show that the national debt has jumped from “$925 billion in 1982 to almost $14.4 trillion in 2017” (Benjamin 701). I truly believe the national debt to be a hinderance to America with significant side effects.
