Question

All budgetary changes have consequences. Describe the impact of the three largest cuts you made. How would these cuts impact the economy and the president’s reelection chances? Explain your answer in at least four complete sentences.

Answer 1

It depends on how equal the cuts would be, if it’s equally divided maybe it would work. However, equality doesn’t mean equity because there are times that a President should really look on the matters that the people needed. In budgeting, we should list down our top to the least priorities and from there we can set where our taxes (money) will go. Thinking not just for the majority of the population but for keeping ALL the people in mind can help the President be re-elected.

 

Answer 2

Sample response: Because I chose to make cuts to education, this could mean that fewer citizens have the opportunities they need to get an education and receive a quality job. I also cut health spending, which means that less funding will go to hospitals and research. Finally, I chose to make cuts to income security, meaning that needy citizens may not receive resources. Each of these changes could result in fewer jobs, which in turn may hurt business.
