In Paul Finkelman’s article “How the Civil War Changed the Constitution” shows how the Civil War affected the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment. One of the main reasons for the Civil War was slavery. The constitution however, did not use the word slavery in their constitution. I found that to be very interesting because its almost like Americans were ashamed of their behavior. Why were the Northern’s more against using the word slavery than southerners?
In the book, Voices of Freedom by Eric Foner, an essay called “On the New Deal and Liberty” written by Herbert hoover critiques the new deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936.

The first Abbott Government budget under Treasurer Joe Hockey’s effort puts in place steady and significant fiscal consolidation designed to give the Abbott government two big re-election promises – the return to surplus and the reward of tax cuts. The 2014/15 Australian Budget leaves Australians working longer, receiving less generous payments and lose income supplements as they age under wide-ranging tax reforms, an almost double in taxpayer spending on child care and an extra $7 co-payment for routine doctor’s appointments and tests from July next year. In his first budget, Treasurer Joe Hockey also paved the way for an increase in the 10 per cent GST to be taken to the next federal election. High income earners, families, students and the

Every year the United States government has to agree on a federal budget for fiscal policy. The federal budget breaks down how and on what the country’s revenue will be spent. The budget is divided into several parts, including military spending, veteran benefits, health and science, education, transportation, etc. The national government sets aside approximately fifty-four percent of the federal revenue for military expenses such as guns, tanks, ammunition, etc. These expenses do not include the pay of those who serve in the military.
The topic I have decided to address is one of the numerous political problems that we as a nation face and their concerns must be addressed. This issue started with the House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) are asking President Obama to force Congress to cut wasteful Washington spending and pledging bipartisan support for this critical effort. In a letter to the President, the GOP leaders ask him to invoke his authority under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to submit specific proposals rescinding spending already in place. Currently now President Obama is calling for wasteful and ineffective programs to be placed on the chopping block in order for the revising of the United States Spending
The importance of this plan is its overall impact in the United States. If the plan follows through in accordance with the incentives proposed, the economy should feel a breakthrough from the recession. On the contrary, if implemented too quickly, it may cause a reverse effect and draw the economy into a greater recession. It is important to discuss the stimulus plan as it directly affects the citizens of this country. We wanted a topic that would educate us as well as provide information supportive of macroeconomics and the broader topic.
Entitlement spending refers to the funds used to provide Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other welfare programs (Heritage Foundation, 2010). Over 20% of federal spending is spent on these types of programs and this number is expected to grow if reforms are not made (Heritage Foundation, 2010). According to the Heritage Foundation (2010), the main reason why entitlement spending must be checked on is because of its uncontrollable costs. There are different types of budget formats, but the purpose of all budget formats is to measure and permit accountability for performance or lack of performance in government (Lynch & Smith, 2004). For this reason, budgets include specific objectives, income and expenses for specific departments or
In Barry Jenkins’ 2016 film, “Moonlight,” the theme of heteronormativity and identity appears. In this essay, I draw on the “fight scene,” where Chiron is beaten by Terrel and Kevin for his sexual orientation and use the concepts of repression and shame to critically reflect on queer youth, their experiences with bullying and the long-term psychological impacts they face during adulthood as a result. “Moonlight” gives the audience a unique look into the young man’s journey as he grapples with his identity and homosexuality in a community where it is unwelcome (Jenkins, 2016). The viewer is introduced to a young black man growing up in Miami through three distinct chapters: first, a child known as Little, then a teenager known as Chiron, and
The end of World War II also saw the conclusion of another era - the Great Depression. The United States wanted to be sure that steps were taken to keep the nation on the right track in the post-war world. The result was what became known as the "Golden Age of Government Spending." Defense Spending World War II showed the Untied States that it must be able to defend itself at all times - in all places of the world. America had become a super power with the dropping of the atomic bombs, and the industrial output during the war.
A minimal increase in federal taxes or a slight decrease in senseless congressional spending would easily account for an increase in funding to
