Budget Proposal
I. Summary
Who: President Obama
What: They are deciding on the 2012 budget.
When: April 13, 2011
Where: Washington D.C.
Why: Because they are at a stand still on deciding where funding goes.
II. Reflection
Text to Self:
This relates to me in the way that I have also had to decide how I would spend my money. I had decide what I would buy and if I would have any money left after getting what I wanted to buy. Obama is having to do the same thing but with billions of dollars. We need to make a budget that will be able to get us out of the recession and clear away our debt.

This relates to something I read about the Great Depression in which FDR used the budget to create services that helped the people. Obama is trying to conserve money while also helping the American people if they are in financial trouble. Medicare is one of the big debates on the budget because it costs so much money. If we can figure out how to have the budget be as helpful as possible then we will be able to get out of the recession.
Text to World:
This affects the rest of the world in the way that depending on the budget we may or may not buy as many things from other countries. If the budget is low then we will buy less products from other countries and we will have less money to spend on government programs. We may also increase the amount of our exports and decrease our imports to save and make more money. The budget may allow us get out of the recession and be able to become a much better nation.
