One of the major points against gun control is the violation of your second amendment rights, you have the right to keep and bear arms for personal protection. This paper will show there is no common sense in banning all firearms as a means gun control and it leaves law abiding citizens increasingly vulnerable to violent crimes. No Common Sense in Gun Control Over the past forty years, legislators have spent a lot of time, effort and revenue on legislation regarding gun control. Gun control advocates insist that increased gun control will lower the soaring crime rates of the early 70's. However, “recent research on the prevalence of defensive gun use has prompted growing concern that government efforts to regulate gun ownership and use may be counterproductive” (Ludwig, 2000, p. 363).
I seems that the most heavily weighted subject of the auto bailouts is the concern about the enormous numbers of jobs that would be lost if a bailout is not approved. The Nation talks in depth about the dire need of passing a bailout because of job losses, estimating the potential number of those to be unemployed if it is not passed at three million (20). The Pew Research Center actually lays out in detailed numbers the weight that the auto industry carries for employment. This publication states that 1 in 10 jobs rely on the auto industry, equating to 2.3 million Americans, or roughly 2% of the workforce. Although both publications indicate the large number of jobs to potentially be lost, The Pew Research Center article provides much greater clarity of the impact.
It has been stated enforcing SB 1070 is costing Arizona over 141 million dollars. Additionally, Arizona’s financial crisis must endure the boycotts, protests, uprisings, court litigations, and economic sanctions to repeal such a ridiculous law. According to Republican congressman Raul Grijalva, Arizona is in a bigger dark hole economically now than prior to the enforcement of SB 1070. Arizona has lost billions of dollars in trade retail sales, visitations, and tourism all from this law (Grijalva). In her research study conducted at the University of Arizona, Judith Gans concluded that the total fiscal cost of all immigrants was approximately $1.4 billion in 2004.
More stress, chaos, and contact among inmates and staff. I believe this is a bad bill because of the increase in expenses. It is about $25,000 dollars to house one inmate per year. Just think about how much it will cost Government officials to house beyond over populated prisons. For example, if the maximum prison term for armed robbery is 15 years and that conviction is doubled, the city has to pay for an extra 15 years of housing to inmates.
Considered that the financial crisis has started from the USA, its effects were quickly and strongly felt beyond the country, too. The crisis is still a challenge for the Euro zone’s unity and its economic and financial stability. Since 2008 the unemployment there has been rising, many of the countries have a huge public and private debt. The economy in the Euro zone has been developing so bad that experts and economists doubt if the euro currency can survive. One of the Euro zone members which used to have one the most powerful economies on the continent is Italy.
In this essay I will discuss how this statement is widely recognised as fact, however how it may have less value in today’s society than for example 100 years ago, and how in some cases it may not be so, and if so how it could alter the future? Millions of pounds get pumped into prisons every year, and they require a substantial amount of funding to be maintained. Specifically, a recent statistic has shown that the government have decided to spend £1.2 billion on 10,500 new prisons by next year. It also costs the state thousands a year to sentence people and to maintain prisoners. To put simple, prisons cost an awful lot.
Many may argue that the falling economy and the wealthy not wanting to share their shares is to blame for the raising rates of poverty here in the states. Poverty of course, has a lot to do with money and income but underneath that it is has a deeper story. Stories of how different people are suffering from it and how they are managing to live day by day. It almost seems as if it’s a foreign nation of its own and you only understand the concepts if you are in it. There is no doubt that here in America we are dealing with one of the greatest economic downfalls.
Before the first world war had started the Germans over spent and went into a massive deficit because they thought that when the won the war they would inherit the country and its wealth. Therefore this justified the government printing large amounts of money in order to fund their cause. Another cause is the war reparations which they had to pay back was agreed at 60 billion marks in order to pay for this more money was printed, could this mean that it was pressure from other countries that were to blame. Though not the worst hyperinflation ever it did have some of the most devastating effects. In 1914 the exchange rate of the dollar to the pound was $1 to 1mark, by 1923 the exchange rate was $1 to 1trillion marks.
The annual cost of incarcerating one inmate is over $22,000 and rising. The prison budget is $8.2 billion, and an additional $2 billion to $4 billion is needed to "build out" the overcrowding problem. This is more money than the state spends on higher education. With prisons exceeding their limit, this is way over their budget and causes states to fall into debt. Prisons aren't the only ones affected financially.
There are many factors that contribute as to why students are in need for student loans and credit cards. One important factor is school. It's becoming expensive and in a recent study done by the College Board, it is stated that the escalating cost of school has risen its highest than in all the years since they started recording the cost of education. Because attending school isn't an option, a lot of students look toward student loans and opening credit cards to help pay off their tuition, books, and living expenses. An article on student loans on USNews.com states that, “Although the federal government will hand out billions of dollars more in college grants in 2011 and 2012 than ever before, the nation's financial aid programs as a whole are not keeping up with rising tuition, government officials and financial aid analysts say”.
