I think health care and the country not being in debt is a greater priority for the money being spent on military even though that is also important and essential. I think the government will spend tax dollars on health, military and maybe unemployment in the next ten years since these are all important items and unemployment rates are increasing. ]]> 2021-11-01 20:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859816293 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859821021 I would spend much less on Health Care, and more on Energy and Environment, more on Military, and more on Science. But before focusing on spending I would focus on recovery from the financial debt that we are in. And then I would focus our tax money on things that would improve our society, inspire innovation, inspire culture, technological, medical, and fiscal advancement. If we focused on these things then in ten years our society would be in a very different place for the better.]]> 2021-11-01 20:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859821021 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859823402 I would spend less on the military, more on energy and environment and more on education. I think that the military is pretty powerful and we do not need to spend as much money on it as we currently do. As for environment and energy, I think every government can put in more effort to save energy and reduce climate change. Lastly, I would like more money to go towards education because there are many communities in the U.S. with public schools that are not properly funded and as a result, the children that go to these schools do not get as good of an education as someone who went to a properly funded school. In the future, I believe that the government will be spending more money on science and research. ]]> 2021-11-01 20:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859823402 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859824348 I would adjust the spending allocation by lowering military expenses and adding on to food and agriculture, and education. I feel that we aren’t spending enough in those areas, people are still starving and our education system needs to be updated. I think the government is gonna still continue to spend tax on military, health, and debt, either the same amount or they’re going to start spending more towards each. military would be at 24.2¢ but possible in the next 10 years being raised to 30¢. Health is at 29¢ but could raised to 35¢. It would really depend because money would be lost in other sections if they’re raised. ]]> 2021-11-01 20:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859824348 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859825365 I would change to add more money to education, food and science. i would focus on paying off debt and working on to innovate our technology and provide education and food for our nation. ]]> 2021-11-01 20:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859825365 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859828142 How I would adjust the spending allocation is make health, food, housing, and education the main priorities. Military and transportation would be at the bottom. I feel health and food is most important when it comes to humans. Housing would be helpful for those who are homeless, and don't really have anywhere else to go. Education is essential for more job opportunities in the future. The three things I see the government spending tax dollars on is health, housing, and food. More than 800 million, all together especially for health when you consider factors like the pandemic.

I feel that we spend too much on the military and not enough on housing and education. Increased housing prices have priced many people out of communities and we should do something about it. Education is the future generation and I think it is terrible that they cut the trade classes in schools because there is not enough money. That being said with the current spending patterns the government over the next 10 years the government will spend the most on: healthcare, military, and interest on debt. In California, over 10 years, per person, that is: Healthcare -  $54,430, Military - $45,297.50, Interest on Debt - $30,319.30. I came to this conclusion by looking at the 2019 tax average report for California. ]]> 2021-11-01 20:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859830938 3650593 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859837081 I would adjust spending on health (mental) and education. Investing in rehabilitation, therapy, and psychiatrists can reduce the growing number of homeless people that suffer from addiction and mental issues. As for education, I would like to create mandatory spending on books, desks, and sanitary products for all schools needing assistance. The United States will likely spend more on medical research, technology, and environment preservation. Due to the pandemic, we found that medical research is essential for tackling issues that might arise. As for technology, we live in an ever-changing world that needs to discover how to integrate technology properly and humanely into our lives. Finally, the earth is enduring changes in climate and air quality; therefore, to protect the population, all countries much come together to ensure a good quality of life.]]> 2021-11-01 20:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859837081 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859844709 I would adjust the spending allocation by spending a lot less on military and instead invest it in either health care or education. I think the top three things the government will spend tax money on in the next ten years will be military, interest on debt, and health. I think instead of paying 24.2c on military it might be closer to 28-30c, interest on debt may be closer to 18c instead of 16.2c, and health would be closer to 35c instead of 29c. I think this because the military is very important to the government so they would want to invest more into it, interest on debt so the government can make more money, and health because it is also very important, especially because of the current pandemic.]]> 2021-11-01 20:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859844709 https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859917077 I would adjust the spending allocation on Housing and Education. Though military and healthcare spending's are very important, This would be my main focus because not only are they a huge issue to people currently such as homeless within our country but they also prevent and risk to future lives and opportunities to dream careers for people. I think the government will spend tax dollars on health, unemployment, and housing in 10 years. Due to the pandemic unemployment rates have increased which can raise the spending's to 15c, Health will increase too from current consequences of the pandemic to 35c, and housing will raise to 10-15c. ]]> 2021-11-01 21:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bcarroll50/2zwzlumhgrdmzlae/wish/1859917077
