September 27, 2012.By Philip Elliott, The Article Comes From Deseretnews

Summary

:Both of candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, discussed whether the United States is a safer place on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The president Obama said that the war on terror under his time makes Americans are better protected. However Romney emphasized one thing that still America is in dangerous situation from terror. Also many citizens worried about their soldiers in Afghanistan because some of them lost their precious lives in other lands. Romney criticized defense cut  and he suggested that
America should end the war in Afghanistan. Also he wants to have security responsibility to protect from al-Quada's power. Both of candidates thought that terrorism and national security issues are also important problems that they have to figure out. However, most American citizens (54 percent) said the economy and jobs are more important.

My opinion

:In my opinion, I think that American soldiers who are in Afghanistan should be returned to their homeland. Because they are wasting time for saving other nations, not their own country. It means that the American government spent amounts of money for unnecessary things. There are many victims or soldiers who were killed by terrorists so that the candidates and even citizens should concern about national security, not only economic and jobs.

The Article comes from Washington Post.

Summary

:Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and House Speaker Gordon Fox argued that they are planning to whether the state can seize by eminent domain the site of a 2003 nightclub fire where 100 innocent people were killed. However, the families of victims and survivors have been fighting for building memorial at the site of the Feb. 20, 2003 in West Warwick. And this land is owned by a private company so that this land can be refused to sell or donate area for memorial site. Even though the citizens want to build memorial for victims, the governor and the speaker of the House just want to seize the lands lightly and emphasizing the eminent domain. And the lawyer of the Economic Development Corp. presented that the governor's legal team will decide whether the land use for public facility. 

My Opinion

:From my point of view, I think that the government should repose to this situation by building memorial site for victims and their families. Because the government did not support victims' families and even planed to use that land for public use. It should not be happened for society. There were 100 innocent people who were killed and their families have been fighting for many years to build memorial site. So the governor and the speaker of the House should try their best to comprehend citizens' feeling and try to build memorial for victims.

WHY IT MATTERS: Washington wields power in education and students feel the effects

September 12, 2012. The Article comes from Washingtonpost.

Summary

:States and local governments have primary responsibility to regulate education in the United States. However, the federal government holds too much power to control over education. President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney argues that the No Child Left Behinds needs to revision. Nowadays, most Americans emphasizes that the education is an serious issue that they have to figure out. In order to compete globally, many American students pay amounts of money for higher education; however, it only leaves huge debts for students. Even though the federal government spend a lot of money, it still contains problems of accessibility, accountability and teacher quality. Obama administration determined to advocate students to speed in math and reading as well as the Republicans charged that the administration was usurping the power of Congress.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

My opinion

:From my point of view, I think that Americans need to figure out how they develop or improve their education That's why the federal government reacted to this serious problem by establishing the No Child Left Behinds Act. However, it caused some difficulties so that many students and citizens wanted to repeal or change directly. Even though many students are struggling with amounts of debt, I think U.S. government tries its best to give many chances to people to learn many things. And the next administration will be improved more and more.

US Government Debt Hits Record $16 Trillion

September 04, 2012

Articles come from MONEYNEWS

Summary

:The Treasury Department claimed one serious problem that national debt has approached $ 16 trillion. It showed that the debt of America tends to rise as time goes by. Therefore, Americans realized that they have to figure out something in order to better solutions for decreasing amounts of debt. And GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan mentioned that Obama administration is threatening many jobs because this debt and his government always spend a lot of money for helping poor and disabled people. In this coming election, both candidates emphasizes that they will decrease the rate of debt.

Opinion

:I think that U.S. government's serious problem is debt. Even though America has lack of budget, it tends to spend money more and more. That's why the government are having hardships because of amounts of debt. I know that it is too late for the U.S. government to change those wrong policies. However, I think that next new president and his administration will alert these things into positively and successfully.
