Answer:

Explanation:

Government spends money for a variety of reasons, including:

To supply goods and services that the private sector would fail to do, such as public goods, including defense, roads and bridges; merit goods, such as hospitals and schools; and welfare payments and benefits, including unemployment and disability benefit.

To achieve supply-side improvements in the macro-economy, such as spending on education and training to improve labor productivity.

To reduce the negative effects of externalities, such as pollution controls.

To subsidise industries which may need financial support, and which is not available from the private sector. For example, transport infrastructure projects are unlikely to attract private finance, unless the public sector provides some of the high-risk finance, as in the case of the UKs Private Finance Initiative – PFI. During 2009, the UK government provided huge subsidies to the UK banking sector to help deal with the financial crisis. Agriculture is also an industry which receives large government subsidies. See: CAP.

To help redistribute income and achieve more equity.

To inject extra spending into the macro-economy, to help achieve increases in aggregate demand and economic activity. Such a stimulus is part of discretionary fiscal policy.

Local government is extremely important in terms of the administration of spending. For example, spending on the NHS and on education are administered locally, though local authorities. Approximately 75% of all public spending is by central government, and 25% is by local government

How did white power structures react to the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Generally, white power structures responded to the Civil Rights Movement based on their geographic location. Thus, most southerners spoke out against this movement, while most northerners supported the cause. This situation was even transversal to the Democratic and Republican parties, since for example Lyndon Johnson, Democratic President who approved the Civil Rights Act in 1964, supported the movement while Orval Faubus, Governor of Arkansas for the same party, did not do so in absolute.

In general, the governors and mayors of the south of the country did everything possible to prevent the advancement and achievements of this movement, through imprisonment (such as in Birmingham, where Martin Luther King was imprisoned), police repression and various government restrictions.

In contrast, northern politicians and those in Washington generally had a more open and responsive stance, supporting the movement and believing in equal opportunities.
