Republican, Paul Ryan designed a budget plan that cuts $5 trillion in U.S. spending over the next decade. He plans on creating a balance between government spending and taxes by 2024. What does the House Budget Committee chairman have in store with his plan? On one hand, he plans on increase spending on defense. However, does the country need to increase our defense system? On the other hand, he plans on making cuts to the following:

  • Medicare and Food Stamps
  • Affordable Care Act
  • Domestic Programs
What do you think? If the Affordable Care Act is fixed and citizens become more pleased with the program, will the Republican Party still want to abandon it? What about Medicare and food stamps, should they be released to states as block grants?

Our needs of reform need not to be in the areas of the ACA, Food stamps and Medicare. Those are the basis of our democracy.
So cutting those funds would turn our low rebelling country into an outrage. With so many effected and on each of those government programs.
