Social security and healthcare

Social security and healthcare

Social security and healthcare in this simulation were the hardest sectors to issue tax on. Most of the taxable areas had experienced the highest levels of taxation in which further tax impositions would disrupt the progress and benefits to the ordinary citizen in America (Kelly & Rohland, 2017). Some of the things that caught me by surprise to be exempted from my deduction mostly revolved around the defense department. I believe that most of the government expenditure and taxpayer money goes into defense programs that end up posing harm than good. One such factor I did not cut was the slowing down of new weapon systems and the reduction of military personnel.

The cuts that I made mainly relied based on common sense, where substantial long-term needs that benefitted most Americans outweighed government needs. Most of the deductions got centralized in terms of benefits to the state and its citizens instead of overfocussing on international perception. What I kept mainly proved to have some solid basis for future environmental conservation and cost efficiency while also benefiting the public. Most of the programs I cut would seem bizarre to conservative minds, thus resulting in a heated debate on my actions, mainly political turmoil by the upper classes against my decisions.

The budget in question is a reflection of a stance towards the beneficial taxing of citizens and reduced expenditure. Year in year out, the government bleeds out billions to programs that mildly add to the country’s economic and social prosperity. I believe that my budget is for the vast majority that wants tax reforms and budgets that add on to the economy and citizen well being that taking away these privileges.
