Arguments For Military Funds

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.

When the terrorist attacks occurred on 9/11 it did more than just affect the comfort level of American citizens. It had an all around impact on how this country will be run for years to come. The one economic impact that I will concentrate on is that the attacks, arguably, but directly effected the U.S. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and how the national budget will be handled from that day forward.

Military deployments are hard on everyone involved: family, friends, and even the person enrolled. While the time they are away may be tough, their homecoming is a fantastic time of reunion. Oftentimes, families and friends will throw their military loved one a homecoming reunion party. If you are thinking about doing this, keep these four tips in mind to ensure it is a smashing success:

Since the inception of the United States of America 250 years ago, our government has enacted a practice of lies and deceit that keep its citizens in the dark. Matters such as false allegations that result in long standing wars, financial misuse and abuse, secret alliances that serve the government agenda's, and the altering of history affect not only the US citizens, it affects the global population as a whole. This deception has resulted in mistrust of the US Government as people question what our government is up to and what they are seeking to gain. In order to earn the public's trust, the United States Government needs to be transparent with its citizens, giving us the information whether it's positive or negative instead of allowing

The United States Military Protects our Freedom: More men and women volunteers are need for the military.

We also see students in a required class being taught the value of serving in the military in both practical and moral terms; not only is it is necessary if one wants to vote, but protecting one’s country makes one a functioning part of his country, a citizen rather than merely a civilian. The point here is that the public gladly accepts the information the government is feeding it and acts accordingly, in most cases by joining the military, out of faith that the state will promote the common good at the expense of individual freedom of thought. Even those who realize the facts are being distorted don’t grumble much. The one time a soldier points out an instance of misinformation, he is told that “people need to be lied to” in order to keep morale high.

In the past America has been a dominant superpower in the field of military strength, but for the last few decades, our military has encountered abounding liquidations and sequestrations, which lead to huge budget cuts. Nevertheless, America has faced many politicians planning to cut down on our military by virtue of it is simply cost effective. The Clinton Foundation has been cutting our military for countless years. Also, under the Obama Administration has been enacting laws comparable to the Budget Control Act or (BCA) which has been siphoning our military for the past 8 years. For countless years, defense officials remain silent due to the Obama Administration, vaguely America could keep its budget under control. Consequently, all four

The Constitution never directly permits a “draft” nor ever explicitly states allowance of an even older term, “conscription,” although it does sanction "raise and support Armies" which is an indirect acceptance of the same concept.

The purpose of this analysis is to examine the rhetorical appeals on an argument presented by two different authors who have written about the subject of the Military’s Budget. In the article, “Yes, Of Course We Should Cut Military Spending!” by Henry Blodget, He argues that Military Spending should be cut and given to more needed civil programs. Contrary to Henry, the article, “Reckless Cuts to US Military Spending Leaving America Vulnerable.” By Steven Cohen puts forth the argument that Military Budget cuts will leave the US Military unable to carry out their duties and will but this country’s interest at risk. This paper will examine the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos found within each of the articles presented by these authors. In addition, highlights of the author’s similarities and differences in style will be noted here as well.

The federal budget is an annual plan created by the president of the United States that sets a certain amount of money to fund different federal expenses such as national defense, transportation, and income security, in fact; the federal expenses are divided into two categories, mandatory and discretionary spending. Mandatory spending is any expenditure that is required by legislation in which Medicare and Social Security are the main funded programs. In addition, discretionary spending is spending not mandatory but decided by congress based on appropriations in which it funds education, agriculture,and administration of justice, just to name a few. The federal budget is created using the constitution’s preamble as a guideline in order for

Being the Secretary of Defense, their position entitles a lot of responsibilities and one of those responsibilities is to provide the president access to military force when needed to help stop war and protect our country. The secretary of defense, who is directly under the commander in chief, which is the president, has duties such as exercising authority, direction, and having control over the department. In Joseph S. Nye's article "Is Military Power Becoming Obsolete?", He talks about how when people hear the word "Military Power", they immediately think about Nuclear bombs, Airplanes, tanks, rifles, etc., when in reality it's not like that at all. There's a lot more to it.

Whole generation of the people accepted things which wouldn’t be accepted otherwise; whole body scanners at the airports, excessive police presence at the public spaces, and the perpetual war that started on September 11, 2001. We could link many negative things with 9/11, the financial collapse of 2007, and high unemployment practically worldwide, a world that is more dangerous, not safer, regardless of the military

Hundreds of New Jersey's movers and shakers are currently headed to Washington aboard an Amtrak train — but for the first time in six years, Gov. Chris Christie won't be there to meet them when they arrive.

School boards across the country have been struggling to fully fund art, music, and culture programs that without a doubt serve to round out the education of the country's youth. States such as California have faced major budget cuts. In 2008, California projected a shortcoming of $42 billion. (California Schools Girding for cuts under fiscal Plan) During a signing ceremony the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger stated, "During a down economy and facing an historic budget deficit we have to make some very difficult decisions..." He later warned local school districts that the cuts will impact the students (I’ll be back). California is not the only state who has faced budget cuts. When put up against struggling budgets brought

When a government’s spending exceeds its revenues causing or deepening a deficit it is called deficit spending. Deficit spending is only one of numerous tools used to help manage the economy. Deficit spending is presumed to stimulate consumer demand by helping the consumer to obtain more money to spend, in turn, the demand of product will rise. There are advantages and disadvantages to deficit spending that we will discuss further below.
