However, new application requests and claiming would adversely be affected. It’s disheartening to know that when I approach retirement and if the government is in shutdown the benefits to which I’m entitled can be delayed. “In the 1995 government shutdown, Social Security eventually recalled more employees to help with the backlog of new applications as the stoppage dragged on.” The reality of this possibility came to light during the recent government shutdown and caused me to reevaluate my long term financial plans. (Parker, 2013) Despite the expectations of a decrease in job growth, surprisingly, job growth is still possible during a 16-day government shutdown. According to CNNMoney, “The U.S. economy added 204,000 jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A chart in source B shows that the amount of mail that needs to be delivered has greatly decrease over the past two years. The USPS needs to work on streamlined and more effective method of sending mail. Source C states how Potter plans to improve the system. It states, “that could mean an end to Saturday delivers, longer delivery times for letters and packages, higher postage-stamp prices that exceed the rate inflation...” I however, disagree with the methods they are using to attempt to improve the system. I think instead of cutting back on hours, more should work to get mail to a place quickly and efficiently.
Since the Cabinet is meant to discuss and decide on major issues as well as ratifying decisions taken outside the Cabinet surely this means that the Cabinet no longer has an important role. Also, under the Blair Government he changed from having two meetings a week to one and dramatically shortened the length of meetings to around 30 minutes to half an hour and it is argued that useful and productive discussion of government policy is increasingly unlikely in this short time
This means the government does not see the need to have as many fire men/women and therefore made many redundant and closed down fire stations in order to save money. This has caused an upset, both with fire men and women local residents as they believe the service times may increase as there is not as many available in comparison to before the redundancies. The same can be said about the police force, there has been a vast decrease between the amount of people the police force take on and train and allow to become a member of the police force as they simply cannot take on the amount that may be needed due to government cutbacks and financial policies. However, a positive affect that can be said about financial policies that result on cutbacks for public services could be that as money is saved for example in reducing the amount of fire stations and fire men/women, the money could be invested in an alternative public service such as the paramedic service or the NHS in order to
Government policies. In this assignment I am going to be explaining the impact of government polices within the public service. Firstly I am going to identify 4 different government policies. Cut backs have been a big problem in the military since 2011, a source from the BBC news say that last year a great number of cut backs were made effecting all the military it also states that 995 army troopers, 10 naval and 55 royal air force will leave the military due to cut backs. Equality policy also affects the public services as the fire service have an equality policy that was put into place by the government but not everybody stands by the policy.
Toronto mayor's austerity call unpopular Chief Bill Blair Friday, January 7, 2011 Summary: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's edict that all city departments cut their 2011 budgets by five per cent doesn't appear to be working. The annual budget procees begins on Monday, and a number of departments say they need more money not less in the coming year. Polices said they could accommodate the cut and asked the police services board to increase the force's budget by a further three per cent. The Toronto Public Library Board voted in favour of a 2.6 per cent budget increase. It also voted to keep the downtown Urban Affairs library open, in spite of speculation that it would recommend its closure.
Payday lending is on the verge of being outlawed in the District of Columbia, but the fact remains that consumers will still need access to short-term, emergency loans. Credit unions already are marketing what they call lower-cost alternatives to the traditional payday loans, and consumer finance firms offer products that could be attractive to consumers who have used payday lenders. Even bankers, with a nudge from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., might consider getting in on the action. However, there is no guarantee that they can make small-dollar loans profitably. A North Carolina credit union has made more than $800 million of "salary-advance" loans since early 2001 and is still losing money on them.
Firstly the tsar did not help the peasants personally, but instead leave the burden to the prime ministers when they cannot rule like a democracy today. Also it leads to the growing economic problem which is a major factor in why the Romanov’s failed. The war came, the economy was shattered, and it could not last for 4 years of heavy warfare. A war in which it would not be over by Christmas as many wanted. But it wasn’t the prime ministers sole fault the agriculture failed, Russia did have four Dumas during this time and although their power was restricted, the tsar did come close to fall in power in 1905
This building is a historical landmark of Queens. If this school were to shut down, the students would be missing so much educational excellence from the teachers. It wouldn’t make any sense to close the school and split each floor into new schools when it’s the budget cuts that are being deducted every school year. Bryant high school has so many academic departments and athletic sports to offer. It would be a shame to let these opportunities for the students to lessen.
The Federal Government arbitrarily restricts hospice care to those whose death is six months away, or sooner. Although the timing of death is difficult to predict, hospices are held accountable for accepting patients who outlive their six-month prognosis. Physicians, who refer patients to hospice only reluctantly, are increasingly more wary of government oversight of their prognostic decisions and their pain management practices. As a result, people who qualify for hospice care are too late in being referred or even not at
