The War On Terror Should Stop And Spend The Money On Fixing The U.S.A.

Okay I'll start refuting my opponents argument and proving why my argument stands. First off- The education problem of today's debate has been not very clear so I will put a few statements on that matter. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org...... This source here explains how our educational system is actually doing quite well contrary to the Pro's thoughts. Also the debate topic i pulling away troops from the war on terror so I'm not sure how building schools today has anything to do with the military and it's involvement in the war on terror. Secondly with our "failing banks" Sources: http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com...... According to this our banks are doing fine so what is the deal? Well though employment my be down as long as our banks are okay we will overcome this and everything will be fixed. So our banks are fine therefore America will be okay in the end contrary to the Pro's thoughts. Thirdly with the terrorists not able to get money if America pulls out. Sources: http://www.cnn.com...... Taliban poppy supply it's plain and simple. The Taliban are getting their money from these poppy seeds not the U.S. military so even if we leave they will get even more money then ever. It is better for us to stay and finish the job. You say that the terrorists are not able to get money and are poor, but they are getting tons of money form these poppy seeds which proves my case even further. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay to restate my case which seems to stand even more now. First off with the spending of the U.S. Dollar is causing us to fall behind. What are we falling behind on? I am going to put it this way, Say you leader of a group of important people and one of these people falls behind and is not able to reap any kind of benefit and you have the know how to get that person to get a better life. Shouldn't it be the leaders job and responsibility to help the person into gaining those benefits of life? Now lets put that with the U.S. We are the leading country of the world militarily, as the leader it is our responsibility to help those who don't have their full potential out. Just as the leader of the people should help if able, the U.S. should help as the leader. Other wise we forfeit our role as leader because we are unable to help others. Okay lets go to spending the money on our own country: The U.S. Government has raised the debt threshold time and time again so that we can borrow money from other countries. If you want the money to be spent elsewhere we take it from the job that America was meant for and get our leadership aka the Government to stop borrowing money and focus and helping our economy for the better. Okay now one of my favorite subjects to argue about: Health care: What is health care, well it is a privilege. No health care is not a right. How have we fallen behind in health care? This can be answered very simply by the universal health care bill. What does this do? I caused the Government to spend money on the people who can't spare a dime. Because the American people can't pay for this what do they do? They borrow money from other countries. Again this proves my point about wasting our money. Now you may think, but what about the poor people who can't pay for it. Did you know that most of the people who get on a government paid program like to stay there because it means no work for them. Lets face it most people are lazy. Don;t get me wrong the people working and trying to get out of poverty are going to get out soon enough. others though will stay and suck up our taxes. You say our money is wasted on the military, look to America and see what is truly causing this. On to your point about fixing ourselves and that we can't fix others: My previous points explain the way to fix ourselves not phasing out the military. The military should stay strong as it always has. tapering with it causes an unbalance in the global affairs. Look to America fix what it here. I have never disagreed with helping other, but if these people we are trying to help in America are taking the money and not tying to help themselves. Why I ask are we supposed to continue giving then more money through more bills and now health care. And now on the education: I have proved this point with my first point of my rebuttal so there is not need to restate it in the same argument. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: http://www.twq.com......... http://en.wikipedia.org......... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a restatement of my previous arguments. I understand my opponent did not see that it was his turn to argue and I'm open to your rebuttal whenever you are ready. Pro you have the floor now.
