Many people love having money added to their accounts, but taking money from other people? This is what President Trump is planning to do. Published by CNN on March, 16, 2017 by Dan Merica, President Trump plans to increases the defenses spending by around 54 billion dollars while cutting money from other departments. This is outrageous. How can one pull so much money from other programs in order to add money to defenses, while some of that defenses money goes to building a wall that isn't necessary. He plans to cut EPA’s fund by 31%, State Department by 28%, and HUD by 13.2%. This can affect everyone. It can cause many things to change as most of our federal money will be going to defenses. What's the point of spending so much money on defense if there is nothing left to defend.Pulling so much money away from sciences programs can affect how we research and learn new things to prevent things and make the world a better place. We won't be able to create new technology if there isn't any money to fund the research. This can also affect many schools as it can destroy public education in general. Hopefully there are major changes between Presidents Trump's plans as I believe it won't be the best option.

Equal Citizenship?
Uploaded to U.S News by Charles R. Venator-Santiago on March 3rd 2017, the author was discussing about how Puerto Ricans are being treated unfairly in terms of the rights and equality as a citizen. That is the big questions are they? Recently Puerto Ricans were available to be granted 3 different types of citizenship throughout the year. A poll was taken and it showed that only 43% knew that Puerto Ricans were considered Citizens of the United States. Since 1898 there were over 100 bills talking about their citizenship. 11 was above the citizenship laws, but after a while the bills were conferred and that created the 3 different types citizens from Puerto Rico. The author was neutral toward the subject and that can be relatable because this is a hard topic to talk about, with everything going on recently. This can change many laws that can affect families and friends. They may be considered citizens or not, but if they are they must be treated equally as all citizens of the United States of America. This can also cause tension between the people and the government. This information can be used to show how many people actually know who's a citizen or not. People may or may not be a citizen, but that doesn't give a person the right to treat someone else beneath them.

America's War On Itself
Updated by Dara Lind to Vox on February 17th at 11:51 a.m. there was a leak going around saying that whether or not that 11 governing states were allowed to use the National Guards to enforce the immigration law. This can cause un uproar in the states as to why national guard would be arresting people within the United States. Homeland Security rejected the topic. This topic follows the executive order of President Trump. Causing chaos between families and friends. Leaving people afraid as they are worried about people coming in to arrest them. This was new information about how the National Guard could of been going around to arresting immigrants that were not legal.This can also cause questions about posse comitatus, drawing a sharp line between both the military and domestic law enforcement in America. This can affect the political the arena because it can cause so much tension between the people and government, the states and federal government. It's just a bad idea in general. This causes American to look like it is going to war with America, showing our weakness and how it may be an opportunity for another country to attack.

21.6 Billion Dollars Down the Drain
21.6 Billion Dollars Down the Drain
Published by Reuters on Thursday February 9, 2017 at 6:33 pm, reported by Julia Edwards Ainsley wrote about the estimated amount and time that it will take to build Trump’s Wall. Planning to invest 21.6 billion dollars in total to cover up and block all of the border lines. Taking three and a half years to build is just a waste of time and money. Donald Trump said that the wall was being designed now and metal and steel was being arranged.The author states everything as is and is pretty neutral, but with Trump building a wall this can cause tension and war. War between nations and people. Building a war shows that America is not accept everyone and is not the country of freedom. This will affect many laws and environment that people live in now. Breaking families apart and destroying homes.Another question that comes in mind is who is paying for this wall. Tax payers??? This will affect everything from laws to tax. This is just not a good idea. This is not some game where one can just take over and build a tower then after it falls, try again. This is a stake of millions of lives that are put at risk. This can not continue and has to be stopped immediately.

El Chapo Meets His End
On January 19th 2017 NBC published an article written by Phil Helsel. More and more people believe America is starting to make mistakes over and over again. Yup! They did it again. Does it make any sense to extradite a man from another country back into our own. Why do we have to take charge if that country can't keep their own prisoners locked up. This is the type of funds that are wasted. The same funds that can be sent to education but nope, the government wants to extradite El Chapo Guzman, a Mexican Drug Lord. The government wants to hold charges for federal drug trafficking with six separate indictments. The author of the articles was neutral as they just stated facts. However I feel that taking in more prisoners is just a waste of money and time. I learned that no matter how well maximum security is build, a man will still be able to escape and America wants to keep hunting down and swooping in. This will affect public policy as it may cause a raise in tax. Prisons grow larger and larger all the time and all the money is coming out of our taxes. So why should we take in people that the should be in prison in a whole different country?

New U.S. defense secretary. New problem?
New U.S. defense secretary. New problem?
This week I bring to all of you another story about our government here in the United States.This article was posted to “The Washington Post” on January 12th by Missy Ryan and Dan Lamothe. As elected President Trump chooses a new U.S defense secretary James Mattis there is one question that is asked the most. Will Russia be a threat facing United States in the future? Will they break the NATO arguing over more support from Americans for the Europeans? Due to many budget cuts, James Mattis believes that American will be struggling to outmatch Russia and other Countries. Mattis stated “We must also embrace our international alliances and security partnerships. History is clear: Nations with strong allies thrive and those without them wither” This can lead to many changes to foreign policies that then can affect local ones. I learned that U.S stand the strongest military all over the world, but so much can change with the change of new leaders. This can affect everyone around the world, causing tension between countries that can lead to war. Affecting public policies within the government. War equals chaos and this should be prevented as soon as possible.

An Apple Does Not Fall Far From It's Tree
Published to BBC by U.S and Canada on January 5th 2017 a powerful statement was released to the public about a certain terrorist. One who can globally threaten everyone. Related to Osama Bin Laden, was his favorite son. Hamza Bin Laden. Now in his late 20’s it was officially announced in 2015 that Hamza Bin Laden joined the terrorist group- Al-Qaeda, that his father was once in charge of. This may affect everyone as it can create new policy that can even start a war, as terrorist are unpredictable. Anything can happen and that leads us to be prepared in the best way we can. This starting a war can put America into debt. Which can create new laws and policy, but can also start another industrial revolution as it may affect the economy. From this article I learned about Hamza, I didn't even know that Osama Bin Laden had a son little to find out he's joined a terrorist group. Within the article there were no sides taken as the information was just published to the public. But finding out so late shows all the information the the government is hiding from their people. How does it take two years to publicly announce that Hamza Bin Laden was joined with Al-Qaeda? This leaves us thinking about who has the power to keep this type of information away from us and who is charge and controls what is doing to prevent these things from happening.
