If you did not turn in your Budget Worksheet and want to makeup the 15 points, here is what you can do.
1. Come up with a question you have about the federal government and its taxing or spending.
2. Do some research to find an answer to your question.
3. Type a paragraph explaining what you found out in response to your question.
4. Type a paragraph reflecting about how you feel or what you think about what you found out.
5. Cite your source of information
Before you do much research or writing, come and see me with your question and I can give you some feedback about a) is it a good question b) is your question too broad and thus needs to be narrowed c) does your question fit the assignment at all. If you have questions come and see me.
When complete, (probably 1/2 to 1 page in length) turn it in and I will score it out of 15 points but don't wait it too long.
Thanks,
Mr. Thompson
Where is the Government spending its money?
ReplyDeleteMajor Health Programs
Medicare
Social Security
The Government is spending its money on major health programs, Medicare, and Social Security. Social Security is at the top of the list with the most money spent with approximatly $1.003 trillion. Medicare is next at $592 Billion and followed by that is Medicaid which is at $406 Billion. Other mandatory programs are at $695 Billion.
I feel as if the Government is too focused on the US’s Medical programs. The Military doesn’t have enough weaponry or men to fight against opposing forces. The US’s defense system isn’t good enough to protect the people of the United States. The US Government should also focus on paying back the people and other countries. So I personally am not happy about how the Government of the United States is using its money.
