Government Issue

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is trying to stop immigration in the US and Mexican border by building a massive wall diving the two. Trying to build this wall would be too expensive, and that would mean that taxes would increase for everyone. The United States already has a large debt, and building the wall would only add billions of dollars more. Also I think that America is constantly growing, and it needs more workers to do minimum wage jobs. Americans don't like working for the minimum wage, but immigrants come to the US to try to achieve the American dream and that is by working. Though it might not be the correct approach big business like the idea of having minimum wage workers. Another reason why building the wall is unnecessary is because many immigrants already come illegally to the United States. The wall would just be a waste of money as they will find other methods to access the country. People will not stop trying to achieve the American Dream becau

Nicholas Bakalar wrote an article  about fast food for The New York Times . Americans are becoming less and less healthier as the years go on. Nicholas Bakalar is claming that at least one third of Americans patronize fast food restaurants on "any given day."

Also Bakalar says that women are more likely to snack on fast food, and men are more likel

Carol's Blog (blog 6)

In her blog post , Carol, talked about how unevenly money is distributed. She explains how the top one percent of the richest people have more money than the lower 90 percent of the people combined. The fact that the few have more than the rest, is mind boggling. The gap between the social classes should not be this open. Carol is correct, most of the rich people have money because their parents were rich and the money just keeps on being passed on from generation to generation leaving behind no opportunity for the average person. Since the distribution of money is so far apart, the poor are left behind. In oder for the poor to study or succeed they need money but how can they earn enough money if the minimum wage is so low. I too, like Carol, believe that one way to try and fix this problem is by raising the minimum wage to a reasonable amount. Not only would allow more money to enter the economy. It would create the rich people with big business spend more money and giving more to th
