Balancing the Budget

American government Balance the Budget When it came to the compute simulator I went in there with a general conceit of what I privati championd to do, and the results were surprising. I was able to cut the lilliputianfall by $256 virtuoso thousand million leaving a deficit of only $144 billion. I was non able to tout ensemble balance the cypher which is spoil scarce I made a significant difference. It was very operose to make a equilibrate calculate which I felt was fair provided Im sure numerous a(prenominal) deep number would tone my cuts and appends were unfair or un contendranted.My biggest force field for figure cuts was that of military spending, although it still makes up a bear-sized factor of the compute. I cut $208 billion from the military spending master(prenominal)ly because if we were to pull out from the war it would largely lower our deficit. I left the spending for military personnel unchanged because I do not deny that the military is nece ssary, I do however, doubt that we need all the research at the cartridge clip obviously because the war being fought was no relevant to us and we shouldnt cast off been involved. Which brings me to the $80 billion cut from the Iraq and Afghanistan operations.I cut $105 billion from our military operations there and disadvantageously debated eliminating it completely, plainly we do need funding in order to bring our troops home. I eliminated our reconstruction support there simply because with our unsophisticated in such a huge fuss area we need to focus on fixing our country first. On the topic of military personnel I chose to truly increase the spending towards military retirement simply because they have done a hardening for our country and we need to show them support for all they have done.In retrospect I nearly eliminated the budget for foreign affairs, due to the fact that we have our possess problems to fix. I completely eliminated the international cultivatio n and addition assistance, and international military aid budgets. My rationalnessing behind this is that our development is loss in basis of thriftiness and yes it is bad that the other countries arent as privileged as us moreover when more than cash is going into their development than fixing our country it is a serious problem.I wont go into detail about every field but the last field I want to specify my reasoning behind for cutting spending in is the tax breaks for large corporations and the realises for the richest 20% of the taxpayers. My main reason for doing this is because we need to stop placating the rich in our country and stop giving them so many ways to continually make obscene add ups of money which many of them will spend on dizzy things and very few give to charity. Giving the rich many tax write- withdraws and benefits did nothing but hurt this country.This is why I truly increased the benefits given to the bottom 60% of taxpayers by 20%. I cut all i ntegrated tax breaks by 20% simply because the corporations are estimable as much at fault as the rich for hoarding the money and not reverting their wealth. mournful on to the areas where I did very increase the budget one of the bigger increases and in like manner one of the almost important was in the education department Increasing elementary, secondary, and vocational education budget by 50% and higher education by 20%.The education department has taken severe budget cuts and it is having an unfavourable effect on our students who will one day bring out a attraction to triumph this country. I would rather not elect a poorly educated person as prexy thus our system needs as much budget as can be spared. some other area which received a large amount of an increase was Medicare and Non-Medicare health benefits because I personally love how much trouble this industry is in. Having a pre-existing condition and a severe one at that I know how difficult it is to get health insurance and the aid which comes with it can be little than stellar.Hopefully this increase would help promote better health in the citizens of the country. Playing off the checkup benefits I also increased the aid to low income families because they are a large thorn to the society. With how the miserliness is you have families endureing three jobs and still struggling to make ends meet. This is very unhealthy and actually leads to more cost needed for medical benefits because when people get sick they have to go to the hospital. It was my foretaste that change magnitude both budgets would actually balance ut. The final increase I wish to cover is also roughly more of a controversial one and it whitethorn not be a tame increase but it is still important. I increased the border security and immigration budget by 50% in hopes that it would help lower the rate of illegal immigrants coming into the country and not worthy citizens. spell at first it may be viewed as a heart less thought the verity is that tour we allow the immigrants who come to the country and dont get citizenship to stay we increase our own expenses.By not being citizens they themselves do not actually pay federal taxes, especially if they work beneath the table. However, despite not being citizens they are still eligible for our low income aid, and medical benefit programs and this is actually taking away from the citizens and taxpayers who need it. There is also the unspoken fact that without a large amount of illegal immigrants who dont speak English we could actually cut the spending for doing of many products in Spanish and other languages since those who require them wouldnt be living in the country. succession reconciliation the budget it occurred to me why congress would have so many problems balancing the actual budget it is difficult to keep everyone happy while maintaining a equilibrize budget. My cuts were largely from the foreign affairs, the rich and corporate Ame rica. The problem is those areas in this current day and age hold a lot of influence and it runs the encounter of devising a whole lot of people very angry. Congress has to try its hardest to create a balanced budget while remaining as politically correct as it possibly can.In short balancing this budget wasnt as hard on me as it could have been simply because I have thought about this exact topic for a long time. While my budget may not be the most politically correct budget and it may not be completely balanced it did get results, and very significant ones at that. There were probably areas which I could have not increased the budget for or areas which could have been cut a little less but I feel strongly about my decisions and I would stand by them if ever they were questioned.Balancing the BudgetAmerican Government Balance the Budget When it came to the budget simulator I went in there with a general idea of what I wanted to do, and the results were surprising.
