Our government is doing a bad job.

I have two things to address before I begin my arguments. Firstly, both Pro and I have forfeited the last round, let's just pretend they never happened. Also, I'd like to ask Pro to use paragraphs or some form of organization in his arguments. It would make it much easier to understand his argument. Now, onto the debate.Con still fails to mention the 25 billion we spend on government buildings that are completely deserted each year. This is an outrageous price.I shall now mention it! There are such buildings that aren't in use, but they are not costing taxpayers 25 billion as Con wishes for you to believe. They are only costing $1.6 billion. I ask Pro to out forward the source that gave him this information, otherwise, I'm implied to believe that you are lying bout your information.They didn't need to be diagnosed with ADHD, they simply needed to act like a five year old. Pro doesn't understand what ADHD is. ADHD is not just being hyperactive. There are three types of ADHD, the inattentive type, the hyperactive type, and the combined type. The inattentive type doesn't involve running around, which what Pro assumes all ADHD is. Instead, its forgetfulness, and not listening. They were also looking for signs of that kind of ADHD.And though operation north woods took place 52 years ago, it was just one of many declassifies documents that are very old. Since north woods never happened, it was declassified, and it was declassified just 16 years ago. This document was kept secret for 35 years and it didn't even happen. Think of what the government holds on other things that did happen. The gulf on Tonkin incident also proves that the government lies and tricks us. During this incident the captain of the USS Mattox told his crew to open fire if North Vietnamese vessels came within a set distance. The Mattox fired off three warning shots but claimed that the North Vietnamese attacked first. A battle ensued and all three North Vietnamese vessels were damaged. When the Johnson administration announced the attack, they claimed the North Vietnamese as the aggressors, and claimed that a second battle on August 4th happened, which was completely false. There was no engagement whatsoever on August 4th. This news was not made completely public until 2003. Just another example that the government kept something from us for years. I don't understand why Pro continues to bring events that conspired decades ago into this debate about the quality of the current government of the United States.North Korea does have missiles able to detonate at a high altitude if they were launched from a ship.It is very, very unlikely that North Korea will use nuclear weapons against the United States. Such an action would assure their complete and total destruction, as I said earlier.These wars were not worth the money we spent since we technically didn't even win.The War on Terror has been incredibly successful, as I said in Round 1. Plus, you can never truly "win" against something like terrorism, you can only contain it.This meant that the American dollar used to actually be worth something in gold. There is no longer a gold standard making this currency worthless. Just because the dollar no longer has a exact value in gold doesn't make it without value. The Euro, which is the most powerful currency out there, doesn't abide by the gold standard, and neither does the majority of currencies. They still have value, and so does the U.S dollar. The break from the gold standard is why we got out of the Great Depression. America used to put real silver into coinage, but no longer does, again making the money worthless. I don't think a lack of sliver in our coins is going to spell doom for the whole country. It may reduce the value of the coin, but it won't make it worthless. This is just silly, the government removing silver reduces the price to produce a coin, which saves the government money. Isn't that what you want? For us to have a better budget? And even though we of have to be responsible, the interests of this country should come before politeness, even if our actions are frowned upon. Exactly, this is the point I have been trying to argue! You have flipped sides without even realising it! The government also does not tell us the truth by media, even though they claim to. The government doesn't control the media. The media is a separate entity from the government. Sources: http://mentalfloss.com...http://kidshealth.org...#http://washingtonexaminer.com...
