The failure of foreign policy in the years 1514-1525 can be attributed to many things. The combination of Henry's isolation from European affairs and the fact that his attempts to raise tax were ultimately unpopular failures, meant that he had no way to impose himself upon Europe. Even when he did manage to scrape together the finances needed for a strong foreign policy his reliance on his allies led to disaster. As soon as Henry took the throne in 1509, it was obvious that he was a king that wanted to fight a war. However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country.
Since the government could not set up a national currency, and states were allowed to make their own, this caused trade between states to be very difficult. In Joseph Jones letter to George Washington (DOC C), he wrote how war veterans felt mistreated when they were not paid and the pay that was earned did not have much value. Jones wrote “One ground of discontent in the army is the delay in complying with their requests.” By never giving congress the power to establish a set currency for the nation, money traded between each state had
Immigration Sierra brown Period:6 We need to allow immigration in the United States. Times are hard in foreign countries and they don’t have as many opportunities as we do here in America. They don’t have as many jobs or healthcare or freedom. They have wars and other difficult things going on. They don’t have the economy we have or goods.
The nation was quite poor from the Revolution and had loans from the French that it was unable to pay back. This was because the Confederation did not have the power to tax, the states were supposed to donate money to the government and as a result, when other states realized that some were not donating money, they refused to as well. Despite the lack of taxing for the nation, the states placed taxes on goods being traded in or through their territory from other states. However, trade was complicated by the fact that there was no national currency. A Virginia dollar could be worth more than a South Carolina dollar, or worth less than a New England gold coin.
Besides state and federal regulations new companies are developed with new policies making it much harder for just anyone to open up a facility. Not only do they need to be approve but adding employees whether physicians or assistants must be an attractions to keep any other competition on the low. Due to so many restrictions helps keep the opposition on the low side. In the health care filed the bargaining power of buyers is also very narrow and restricted. The economy has no control over humanity, the reason for this will be since diseases, illness and injuries occur during any giving time.
This has been used to promote a culture of the regulation that has also proven to be problematic for society. Some examples would be the regulatory overreach with a case involving a California legislators that promoted excessive regulation of the railroad industry, and on the opposite end, deregulation that led to the financial crisis of the past few years. In my opinion part of the issue seems that being in the middle, taking a central position of neither being overly regulatory or laissez-faire will always be less appealing. The position in the middle is seldom a sexy or passionate one. Because of the lack of passion, the middle or center most position will never garner the enthusiasm that fuels the fiery rhetoric and mass protests that the more polar positions wield.
Mayhew makes several arguments concerning the positives and negatives of our divided government. He points out that divided government seems to have little effect on the outcome of policy making, but many critics spoke out, saying that our divided government is actually the root of governmental gridlock. Because our government is divided into different political groups, mainly republican and democratic, there are many different opinions and ideas. The two parties often fight back and forth about what they think is best for our nation, leaving them in a gridlock with both sides refusing to budge. We have this exact problem today, because our government is currently shut down.
Failing to raise the debt ceiling will halt the cash flows. If the cash flow halts the government will not be able to pay its debts and obligations as it is tied into financial agreements with many different countries and foreign investors. The government will have to delay payments of legal obligations including social security, medical benefits, military salaries, interest on national debts, and many other commitments. This will downgrade nation’s
Lauren Walker The debates held over aspects of the economy, especially minimum wage, are too numerous to count. The question these days is whether the government should raise the minimum wage or not. To be honest, I believe our country would be better off without a minimum wage, and let businesses decide for themselves what to pay their employers. There are several reasons to be against this claim, but there a subsequent reasons for it, reasons that define a stable economy. Having a minimum wage in our country limits the efficiency of businesses, limits the availability of jobs to citizens because of illegal immigrants, and even drives some people out of business.
Some of these countries include Albania, China, Yugoslavia, Japan, Korea, and even the United States. Now, there are a number of reasons for a country deciding to completely cut off interaction with the outside world. Some of which include forming a better economy, reducing war, and increasing peace. Some disadvantages that come along with this way of life, however, are a suffering economy due to the absence of free trade, unpreparedness for war, and an unskilled military. As you can see, everyone has their own thoughts and speculations on this decree.
