1. Notice that the Pensions and Health Care mandatory spending is growing at an increasing rate each year. From 2010 to 2018, this only increased by about 450 billion dollars, but from 2019 to 2027 it increases by over 1.8 trillion and grows another 1.2 trillion the next three years. Do some research and discuss why this is happening to these programs. What can we do to adjust this growth? What proposal have congress proposed to fund these changes?
2. Provide TWO proposal that could help balance the budget. You will need to outline your idea that is feasible and explain your proposal in detail. You will also provide which stakeholders would SUPPORT your idea and how would OPPOSE your idea. (ie: Teachers Unions, or Tax Payers, or Social Security Recipients, etc...)
