G9

1. Would you focus more on cutting spending? Raising taxes? Both? Identify some specific actions you might take. (What would you consider cutting? What kinds of taxes might you raise?)
1. `I would focus more on both. There are some programs that spend too much money, such as homeland security and the military. There are also taxes that should be implemented such as taxes on the rich...
2. After I did both of the activities I noticed that I didn't do as  much cutting on the military as I thought, a lot of it actually seemed necessary. But an area that I really focused on was with medicare and social security. I raised the age requirement for medicare and also chose to revamp medicare. These actions would really affect the elderly in the country, but I put myself in their position and decided it wouldn't really be that bad.
