Part 2 - Federal Budget Activity Reflection Essay

In at least 500 words answer the following questions:

• Provide a justification of the budget choices you made within one of the following categories: Defense, Domestic, Social Security, Healthcare (you may NOT choose to focus on the categories labeled: "Budget Path," "Other," "Revenue," or "Tax Expenditures"). In this defense, you must address possible counter arguments to the budget decisions you made. If you are spending more under this category how are you going to get new revenue or gain public support for more deficit spending? If you are cutting funds - what are you going to do with these surplus funds?

• Discuss how this assignment impacted your understanding of the budget process, and the debates between the parties and within Congress have regarding the federal budget? Do you think anything should be done to streamline the current budget process?

• Discuss how difficult this would have been to do this activity as a group project - what budget issues would have been contentious? How could you have come to a compromise?
