Description

DO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS REALLY REPRESENT US?

The Scenario:

Assume the role of a senator from a small state with a large naval  base that is at the heart of the stateænbsp;economy. The president has  created a defense spending reform package that is designed to construct a  smarter and more up-to-date national security budgetn objective that  definitely serves the national interest.

However,  part of the reform package is the closing of military bases  that no longer serve any vital purpose and redirecting that money into  programs that will protect national security. Finally, one of the bases  that must be closed is the huge naval base in their state. Their  constituents are certain to take a short-term economic loss but the  nation is better served with this closing.

In a two page-paper answer the following questions:

What should you do when you are called upon to cast a vote on the presidentænbsp;program?

How would you acts a trustee or a delegate?

How might your decision be influenced if the president is of the same political party versus the opposition?

Would your seniority matter in deciding how to vote? What kind of pressure might they get from their constituents?

Download Project3-online-Budget-ONLY.xlsx®bsp;Excel file

Once  you have recorded your expenses for a 4-week period (Project 1  receipts) and totaled each category, you will develop a personal budget  (Project 3). 

The goal is to see where you spent your money and give you an idea of how you should spend your money.  

Use  your 4-week expense tracking worksheet to make decisions on where you  would like to cut back (ex: eating out, coffee, candy) and where you  would like to spend more (ex: toward goals, deposits to savings, school  loans).

Project3 ®bsp;Your Final Project: Budget will have 3 columns for you to complete:

Column1: Budgeted Amount
(what you want or expect to spend in a month)

Column2: Actual Amount
(What you actually spent: See Project1)

  • Column3: Mark X 
    (only mark X if a positive (+) or negative (-) variance ®bsp;meaning: if column 1&2 don match)
  • Action Planning:  One of the final steps for Project 3 is to reflect on the five (5)  following areas from Project 3 and briefly describe how your budgeted  amounts may be different from your actual amounts and how you plan to  meet your financial goals that you set (Project 2), moving forward.
