Crisis Persuasive Speech
My fellow americans….. We’re in a crisis. I am here for a very simple yet an important reason, and that is to say that things need to change, on behalf of the American people. We have been so reliant on the money of the federal government and to take that reliance and put nearly all of it in military spending,is just wrong. I have been consistently in awe at the way that we spend 598 billion yearly on the military and unless we want every other federal program to be massively cut we need to stop and cut back on military funding. Try to imagine all the people in the United States struggling to put food on the table for their families, while the military spends $500 on a screwdriver. It’s outrageous, but it happens every day. With unemployment rates skyrocketing the U.S. cannot afford these prices anymore. President Trump wants to increase the military budget by 56 billion and if this happens the people of the The United States are in for serious trouble and major cutbacks to things we actually need such as a better education we are by far number one in the military yet we are 17th in

education and the president wants to put more money into the military its an outrage and it's hard to believe people support this. The United States Federal Government should substantially decrease their spending in military and focus on more important programs such as social service
As a student, I rely on programs such as Medicaid for my health insurance and, but I am not alone. If these cuts were to take place 280,000 children would lose their school lunches and 300,000 children would lose their health insurance. Programs such as child abuse prevention programs, meals on wheels and child care would be cut . According to tradingeconomics.com The United States’ unemployment rate is currently 4.8% Cutting programs like food stamps and social services would send 4.8% of the nation in a downward spiral. Not to mention, hundreds of thousands of children would be affected from these cuts. It is outrageous what the government is willing to do to increase funding in military.
Any patriotic person would argue we need more money in military for the public to feel safe.
In an article written by BBC news states that china will increase military spending by 7% in 2017. A 7% increase in china's military spending is still nowhere near the military budget of the united states. We spend nearly a whopping 400 billion more dollars on our military than china does yet we still continue to add billions more dollars to the budget. The U.S. is worried because we do not know the weapon systems in which they are developing. Instead of the government being worried about our own people, our own social programs, we are worried about china that spends 27.8% less on military! It is absolutely ridiculous what the government's’ priorities are. We have children fighting for an education, unemployment rates continuing to rise and the government is worried about another
country.
The U.S. needs to lower military spending to save our future generations. If this does not happen our children are going to become bankrupt. Our economy will begin to seize to exist if the government continues to make the decisions they are. Our children should not have to fight for their education; our people should not struggle for a normal life because all our money goes to protect the nation yet we can't put money to help our own people. Our soldiers and children deserve a better future. This is why the U.S. Federal Government should substantially decrease their funding in military.
