Today in the beginning of class we went over the Europe map. Mariah presented her blog assignment which was about how the hiker is finally back from Iran. She is a women and she is free from the prison saying that she is physically well. She was there for 410 days. After that we continued our blog discussions..
- We continued our topic on health care. We pretty much discussed how health care is just meant to make everyones life easier. Health care used to be the biggest issue in the U.S.
- Our next disussion was about taxes. Democrats want to tax the rich and less for the poor. Democrats believe that the rich have more to spend so they should be taxed more. Republicans want to keep it even. The theory is the rich will invest in money and that will help the economy. Republicans believe that the wealthy should recieve the most tax cuts. We discussed laissez fairre means to leave alone. We also discussed the trickle down theory which means government give tax cuts to wealthy and big businessess which will soon trickle down and help the poor. In that way they can increase wages and benenfits or even expand which creates new jobs.
- We barely discussed military spending. Republicans want to be less wasteful on spending. Democrats believe that we should not spend as much, but we almost have to. They believe money can go well to somewhere else.
