As I read through this week’s material and the question presented. I am curious of the word intervention. The last six years operating under a continuing resolution has adjusted our expectation for what we can afford and how we (as a country) have adapted to emerging requirements. Budgets exist to fundamentally anticipate how commitments can be mitigated (Shayfritz & Hyde, 2007). Constraints are identified by the nature of the risk that will be caused if the budget cannot support (Pai, 2013). At the same time the budget must also introduce the ideal of revenue mix. How much can we save and how much can we make through taxation. Some key events in history have helped us to recognize the ever changing platform of needs, requirements and capabilities (Day, 2011). The end of the Iraq and Afghan conflicts, the reduction of US forces and capabilities, and the legalization of marijuana will become the lines of effort that grow the budget cycle resembling a triad of resistance to balance the economy. Budgetary constraints did not end the war; the disassembly of the terror networks effectiveness to promote an agenda that threatens worldwide sovereign stability slowed them down. There will be a cost aligned with moving troops, leaving equipment, and assuming risk in what happens once US forces have left. The budget will be responsible for marriage of integration of available funding and the net capability applied to each strategic problem that arises. The level of intervention to answer this problem cannot be done with congress as a stakeholder. Congress would not be invited to the table to even discuss possibilities on how to balance the budget. Congress needs the intervention. We were all witness to the uncompromising poli... ... middle of paper ... ... government and the people. Karl Rove would be the honest broker and advocate for the panel to congress. As the presenter Karl Rove would command both the real threat of not attaining and controlling a balanced budget as well as messenger of a panel of idealist with the resumes and achievement to validate their stance. Who knows what would be the outcome if such an intervention could ever take place. The current budget trend has been the same for some time now. Congress would probably not be receptive to the analysis and support financially and or emotionally from the participants. Works Cited Day, G. S. (2011). Closing the marketing capabilities gap.

  • What Will Federal Marijuana Reform Look Like By Alex Kreit Summary

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 2015 article “What will Federal Marijuana Reform Look Like?”, Alex Kreit states how the current stance towards marijuana has changed. For this reason, a need for a new policy is necessary, as the present strategy of implementing laws on federal marijuana prohibition is no longer sustainable. This shift of mindset towards legalization of marijuana leads Kreit to say that legalization is inevitable. As an illustration, in 1996, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Congress opposed California’s approval of medical marijuana. In contrast, the year 2013 was when the Department of Justice announced new guidance to deprioritize enforcement of marijuana laws. Because of this shift, Kreit propose that efforts should go to crafting marijuana

  • Stop The Drug War on Marijuana

    1268 Words  | 3 Pages

    Today’s economy is struggling and it is in dire need of relief. As of 2013, the United State’s debt was $17 trillion, and if marijuana were to be legalized than it would help raise more money. It could be taxed and distributed for consumption sold like alcohol and tobacco. Taxes on cigarettes amounted to more than $43.3 Billion in 2012 (RJReynolds). The legalization of marijuana could possibly one day make that money helping to reduce this nation's debt. But, as the United States continues to prohibit the use of marijuana, it will make the taxpayers pay more money each year on the illegal usage of the drug. The marijuana prohibition costs both state and federal governments more than $20 billion a year (CATO Institute). One drug policy could change how much it wastes on the prohibition but the government has done so. A study by the CATO institute showed that...

  • The Federal Government Must Decriminalize Marijuana

    2430 Words  | 5 Pages

    Lately it seems that drug policy and the war on drugs has been in the headlines quite a lot. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the policies that the United States government takes against illegal drugs are coming into question. The mainstream media is catching on to the message of organizations and individuals who have long been considered liberal "Counter Culture" supporters. The marijuana question seems to be the most prevalent and pressed of the drugs and issues that are currently being addressed. The messages of these organizations and individuals include everything from legalization of marijuana for medical purposes, to full-unrestricted legalization of the drug. Of course, the status quo of vote seeking politicians and conservative policy makers has put up a strong resistance to this "new" reform lobby. The reasons for the resistance to the changes in drug policies are multiple and complex. The issues of marijuana’s possible negative effects, its use as a medical remedy, the criminality of distribution and usage, and the disparity in the enforcement of current drug laws have all been brought to a head and must be addressed in the near future. It is apparent that it would be irresponsible and wrong for the government to not evaluate it’s current general drug policies and perhaps most important, their marijuana policy. With the facts of racial disparity in punishment, detrimental effects, fiscal strain and most importantly, the history of the drug, the government most certainly must come to the conclusion that they must, at the very least, decriminalize marijuana use and quite probably fully legalize it.

    Abramsky then goes on to discuss in the article how liberal politicians, Betty Yee and Tom Ammiano, are pushing for a bill to change the drug laws and legalize marijuana. Yee wants to excise “fees on business owners applying for marijuana licenses, impose an excise tax on sellers and charge buyers a sales tax” and if that is done the right way, she believes that the state could gain “about $1.3 billion a year” Timothy Lynch, writing in the conservative magazine the National Review, writes about how the drug war has not made very much progress and has essentially failed. Lynch writes about how voters in California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Alaska, and Maine that have rejected ideas to improve the war on drugs and instead they “approved initiatives calling for the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes” (40). Lynch also writes that “the supply of drugs has not been hampered in any serious way by the war on drugs” (41).

    1. The three reasons for government intervention are political, moral, and economic. Political reasons include pressures that arise from social and cultural movements, or policy makers themselves decide that government intervention is needed. Moral or ethical reasons are not necessarily popular or politically advantageous (although they can be), but under this branch of reasoning, intervention is simply the “right thing.” Finally, economic reasons for intervention emerge from market failures, or when the economic market can’t or won’t provide something that is needed, or regulate itself fairly.
