The Government Week!
This week we learned a lot about the different moves a government has to make.We learned about public transfer payments which is a way to distribute income, public safety nets that are for those who can't provide for themselves, and Public transfer payments that is when government transfers income from taxpayers to recipients who do not provide anything in return towards society. We learned about the different spendings and how difficult it is for our government to chose whatever is most beneficial towards us. We learned about mandatory and discretionary spending and what they offer. We also learned about the different entitlement programs like; social security, medicare, and medicaid and how they are aimed to help the people with less income in society. Our government does a lot to help its people and I think that is amazing.
I never really thought about how much the government did for us before until this week! It really is amazing that they do so much to help us! They do some much to distribute money and allow for the economy to get back on track. I wonder how the government can decide on what to spend our money on. It seems so complex!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the government helps as much as you believe. The government may provide all of these programs you listed but the government does not fund them. It is taxpayers that pay for these programs. The taxpayers are the ones helping the poor not the government.
