Why where fighting Iraq

I agree with Michael’s blog about the government treaty to pull the Americans out of Iraq may have consequences on our government in his writing Keep the Peace. For an example he used two soldiers where killed in a humanitarian mission on a day where the Iraq’s where protesting to get the Americans out faster. The main reason they want us out of their country faster is so that terrorist leaders can attack their own government again. When I took Cultural Geography a year ago my teacher told us that Iraq is made up between the Islamic split in religion sunni / shitte. This also being a main problem where they have their own religious war with in the country we should have never gotten into as a nation. When we leave out of Iraq all the work we achieved will be destroyed and the country will go back to corruptness and inner war once again. Yes it’s not right for another country to sit in and baby sit this country to peace, but without us they will probably never change parliament. Michael also brings up the questioning of us staying in Iraq and the proposal to never fall through. This being Iraq government want the U.S. to stay, possibly could lead us to being their a bit longer. But for the majority Obama is set on bringing home the men and women fighting for peace. Troops have killed the 2 main terrorist leaders so far. There are a few more terrorist leaders in Iraq that we haven’t gotten. Michael then goes into how it’s ironic that we fight for peace, which I disagree. Without fighting for peace we be asking to be attacked again not caring for are people. Also stepping in to help a nation with probable mass destruction weapons show where taking care of other countries from being harmed. Risking are lives not only for are country but are world we live in.

American Crashing to a fall? no!!!!

A blog by “what America do you see?”The author of this blog is basically complaining about living in a materialistic world controlled by media, and the very few big heads running these major cooperation’s. They then go into how our economy is going to see a great depression once again and we will suffer the economic down fall. We are sucking up oil and resources of all sorts while leading pollution in the world. He goes on to say that if we take a lot of one thing it will destroy us in the end. So he questions why are leaders know of such horrible damage there causing on the people and they do nothing. The answer is because of money; all major leaders in our country only think of the cash their filling in their pockets. Take for example Sam Walton cooperation Wal-Mart, Ted Turner an investor who started CNN, and so on. He then goes to say that all humans are leading down the wrong path to destruction which is completely not true. The U.S. now with Obama as president will be investing lots of money into the economy to fix pollution and economy problems. While also Ford just made a car that will help the economy and jobs that will be sold in Europe that gets 62 miles per gallon. Which is a great start for our nation to look great in the automobile makers.

Obamas Amazing reissuing Table Topic

Obamas plan to fix the economy is actually the most unpatriotic way to go about helping the nation. Bush in the last 8 years has added $4 trillion more to the nation’s debt. Worse of it all in 1992 Perot a presidential candidate had said “if added 25 cents to every gallon of gas would have paid the national debt in 4 years. ” Ever since that era every President that has been inaugurated thinks the national debt will pay itself eventually. The U.S. dollar would have been so strong compared to any other nation by now if that could have happened. Now we look to a future where the country dollar will depreciate lower after Obamas new economic package takes charge probably.
The new economic package that will further our country into debt $500 billion estimated by Julie Hirschfeld Davis the Washington Post. Obamas plan is to help the nation’s recession by putting $168billion in tax rebates, another $100 billion in green projects to cut harmful emissions and make jobs up to 2.5 million by 2010. Also to help with the foreclosure problem many are facing not being able to pay. For 84,000 people for closed in the last few weeks according to CNN Larry King. While the rest of the money will be going to projects like repairing bridges and schools, modernizing public school education and so on. While also CNN claims Obama said that the project could reach to $700 Billion if needed.
All being great amazing needed factors in our country for improvement, but is this really needed to print off the tremendous large amount of money needed to fix the country. What’s the plan to take care of the nation’s debt in the end? We still owe Asia tons of money we borrowed way back in the days. The U.S. is about to look like Mexico in the way of reform. There’s nothing patriotic outlook from this situation at all. Which leads to question how is the rest of the world going to perceive us and react? After 100 years of greatness we fall this low as a country came right below us.

Leadership is Key

What we need in our government is strong leadership and leaders who are more experienced and qualified to build programs, protect citizens by making laws and holding to them, restructuring our financial system since it appears that our largest financial companies have failed Americans by handing out money to businesses and people without appropriately looking into there history or background before giving out such loans.
In any case does this mean that the bailout of 700 Billion dollars that was paid out by the government shows eventually government will need to step in permanently in the future? Maybe this would actually put rules and regulations into place to prevent another meltdown. Where do we go from there? Or, do we slap their hands at the tax payer’s expense and trust that they will impose tighter regulations and guidelines and move forward.
Now a little talk about how our next president will fit into all this. Either one of the candidates will need to bring new focus and light to the situation in order to help resolve the current situations by either setting reforms to have the public believe the government is changing in a forward progress. Or maybe raising taxes to be the answer to fixing the financial companies mistakes preventing a recap in misuse of money in huge corporations or worse we could be seeing money laundering in the future the majority cause of all this failures affecting the system. Americans don’t need to be paying for the slack of others not doing their jobs. Leadership is key to helping the recession where in.

Obama's Tax Plan Isn't a Tax Plan

A blog post named “Spreading the Wealth Around” by John on Power Line tells how Obama tax plan if inaugurated into office in January will affect all. That this will hurt some 5% of Americans whose taxes will be raised astoundingly huge to help all other Americans a small cut in their taxes. Obama’s theory is to” spread the wealth around,” he tells a Plummer that complains his taxes will be raised. John the writer goes into details complaining that Obama is not issuing a tax plan but a “tax and wealth fare plan”.
The author audience in this case is people researching for information about upcoming candidates running for election and inside advice to peruse the reader from voting for the Democratic Party this mainly being Obama. Also the general public he tries make well aware of Obama’s plans and how there going to negatively effect the country welfare program and how the future tax dollars will be spent in the upcoming years if he’s elected. He latter also shows expectance of the audience knowledge of the usual democratic impact and liking for big government. The liking of bureaucracy making all happy and taking care of special needs he feels is not necessary to discuss.
John quotes the Wall Street Journal in his entire blog pointing out main key factor that prove Obama tax plan isn’t much of a plan. His Fox News video posted along with his article tells how “¼” of Americans don’t even get a tax break, because they get there taxes back. Then John uses Wall Streets Journal numbers to show that “tax credit will rise from $647 billion to $1054 trillion,”and also “an additional 10 million” people will pay no taxes in “2011”.
His information from Wall Street Journal that he repeatedly quotes never goes into detail how the plan will actually trigger these enormous numbers in money and people being taxed free. Logically assuming the audience picks up the idea Obama wants large government which means hiring a lot more governmental employees. For people who work for the government gets pensions and don’t pay tax’s which would lead more to being tax credited. Thus will raise taxes higher on the 5% of people that aren’t getting the tax cut. Obama does this to have the majority to be happy. Which down the road takes the meaning of welfare out of the box, and John believes that AFDC will have to come in to the government to fix the problems as seen back in the 1930’s.
For I can not come to a decision to take side because the credibility is not enough to prove that Barrack Obama’s plan in taxing is a good idea or not. I would have to go to more reliable sources to read their articles on the subject to have a better side on the idea to make a decision. John never explains why the tax credit is going to raise. I definitely don’t trust Fox news being owned by a person with multiple other new stations. I see no information showing that the plan is more of a welfare plan then a tax plan because of no proving evidence of how untaxed people are going to be increasing over the years

Bush's Downfall in Presidency

In the Article “Loss in Congress Shows decline of Bush’s clout” by Ken Herman in The Austin Statesman showed President Bush had no influence what is so ever on the Republicans in House of Representatives over the Bailout package. The bail out package was to give 700 billion dollars to banks so they could keep lending out money. This is needed because banks have given out an exceeding amount of loans that could make banks fail. Bush was encouraging the Republicans to vote for this Bill, that he was promoting, that would help to allow free market intervention in mainly the house mortgages. His influence that was shown had no effect on their decision and the outcome.
The author intended for his audience that would be reading this article were Americans that where up to date with the Bail bond. He did not elaborate enough about the bill and how it would benefit the citizens of the nation as a whole. Herman also expects from the readers that they know a bit already about Bush and his reign as president over the last 8 years and how he is not liked or respected by the majority of the country. In the end of this article, you see that Herman cared only to give readers the inside scoops of what others are saying that justify for Bush’s lack of influence and respect of others he gains and how it influenced the rejection of the Bill.
The credibility shown in this article is not apparent, and it’s mainly one sided. The only person he has to quote and prove his statements is a man named Buchanan. Herman never goes in to detail who this man is and what his importance in United States is. Buchanan only shares his views and reactions to Bush administration in office so far and his outlook on the bill. He also Quotes Tony Fratto, who is Bush’s Deputy Press Secretary to explain what the bill was about. There is no truth in this article because he goes into supporting details what the bill was about his view that are truthful, unless you were to watch local television news or listened to Bush’s speech about the bill.
The Argument in this paper is that the President Bush had no influence on the Republican’s decisions to vote for the bill he was supporting. Herman States that Bush’s poll numbers have dropped to a low, and this shows that the majority does not respect the President views. Second, he claims that bush has been promoting the ideas of the bill for a long time pushing that nobody wants to hear anymore about nor wants to deal with Herman believes. Bush’s persistent hurts him in the long run on how he’s viewed. He doesn’t let go of this key point that so important to him the author believes.
I disagree with the Article on Bush’s persuasive abilities to encourage his views in voting. I think Bush is still looked as a strong influence in our nation. He has the ability to make our country look bad at times and good at others. I am sure the Representatives considered his views, but that does not mean they have to vote how he wants. Else there would be no point to voting or we wouldn’t have a Democracy. Bush made a public speech to the nation on Bailout package concern which has made all aware of the situation, and importance state of the Bill. I’m sure he also influenced Obama and McCain on the view because they had also taken side on voting for it and publicly speaking about it to others also.

New Federal Tuition Policy in Act

Recently in an article I had found on Yahoo news discussed how a group of students in California brought forth to the court about the unfairness of illegal aliens paying in state tuition. Mainly aliens being out of country non citizen on education visa’s being able to pay in state tuition instead of out of state tuition. First they thought it was the students claiming to be citizens in state but it was actually the schools allowing it. This then makes it unfair for all that do pay out of state tuition must be reimbursed so that it’s fair. The biggest deal that came from all of this was that they found 9 states altogether allowing in state tuition for illegal aliens. The Jury had come to conclusion that this was violating certain acts and clauses in the Constitution and was unlawful. He had also decided that it had to be changed nationally, and then the usual individual states decisions. For states have mostly always had education at their act then federalism taking over. This article is a big deal in raising the standards of importance of education laws in the United States.
