Now That I'm Thirty

Now that I'm thirty, our government has gone the route of 'option B' to attempt to fix our economy. Our government made many adjustments in attempt to fix the national debt over the past twelve years. The first adjustment made was a requirement to no longer run a deficit with our budget each year. This has helped us keep our national debt from growing and any possible surplus will go to helping decrease the deficit. Part of running a balanced budget required the decrease across the board of government spending, reducing the budget of almost all programs. One area that was drastically effected by this change was the defense budget. Our country was able to maintain strong military presence without needing to spend a large portion of the government's budget on our national defense.
As a result, the last twelve years have been a little rough for our federal government and the programs. Certain programs such as the national park systems have been scaled back, leading to slight changes, such as larger fees and more chaos. This system has allowed for more Americans to essentially chose what programs they support. This system has also allowed the government to shrink the deficit by about a quarter trillion per year. Therefore it is steadily declining without causing major turmoil in our country, and it will not be disastrous if it does not decrease as drastically one year. However, the major priority for now is running a balanced budget in our to keep our country running smoothly.
