There are many important economical issues facing the United States right now, there is the poor housing market, unemployment, education, the two wars in the Middle East, and etc. In my opinion, the wars we are currently involved in with Iraq and Afghanistan have been the greatest economic issue. I believe these wars have been responsible for the economic issues we are facing and dealing with today. These wars also affect many other areas of our economy. If it weren’t for these wars we probably wouldn’t be facing high unemployment rates, poor house marketing, the closing of businesses, and many other issues. Not only do these wars bring upon economic issues but as well as society issues. Many families have had to cope with the loss of a loved one as well. There have been around just underneath 2,000 casualties and still counting. These are cost that can’t be repaid. So why not just end the wars?
This war has not only been very controversial, since most people have no clue why were even in it, but very costly as well. It costs our government around 6.7 billion dollars a month. That is a big setback to our economy, since most of the money we spend in the war we don’t even have. This spending puts us in a deep whole of dept. As a country our national dept is around 13 trillion dollars. I believe we have more important issues that are affecting us at the moment and should be dealt with immediately. Instead of spending our money in violence why not spend it in things that will benefit us now? We can use our money for helping those starving, education, and unemployed. Therefore I believe that the wars in the Middle East have been our greatest issue with our economy.
Ignacio – Just a writing tip, never use etc. when you write. Just a thought, aren’t these wars necessary for the protection of our national security? Aren’t we trying to prevent terrorism from spreading? Is this considered a waste of money? Excellent point regarding the cost of human lives. Again, isn’t this war benefitting us now in a sense by protecting our country against terrorism? If the wars did come to an end now, do you think we would spend more money to protect the stability of that region in the future? What would our allies (mainly Israel) do if we just left? Can we afford to do this economically, politically, or even from the point of view of protecting our reputation as a superpower? This is a good start.
