The Right Decision Against Iran

It is very hard to believe our government has our best interest in mind. I strongly believe every move and or decision made against any country has to do with personal gain. My question is what do we have to gain from trying to stop Iran. It all comes down to the dollar amount and what it will do for our country. America, Britain, France,China ,Russia and Germany are the big pons and to me are the big kids in the school yard trying to justify why they bully small kids. It seems as a country our government has a hidden motive that is always dressed up to be something else. Just imagine if the government was honest with us the citizens , I stand to believe that the government would loose all control. I don't believe Iran is as big of a threat as it is being projected to us. I think we have a specific interest in Iran because we have something to gain from it and when I say we I mean our government. Do you think the motives are more clouded than we are being told? What do each of these countries have to gain ti make them more ready to team up against Iran. I feel with government issues the story is deeper than what we are being told. A s citizens we are to believe what the government says and support their decision even if it is a decision that should not be made. Our government and citizens have grown so far apart it just seems we are living in one world and them in another. critique:

THE SCALE OF THE BUDGET DIVIDE

It's safe to say that if America doesn't act fast we could be on the road away from a nation that was once the greatest to a nation of nothing in my opinion. The U.S Gov't is still trying to figure out the best possible solution to get the national budget under control. All I hear is a bunch of greedy politicians trying to keep their own wealth safe and could care less about the nation and this issue at hand. The debt ceiling was temporarily raised and set to reopen on Dec. 13 to decide on a different budget then the one passed earlier this year. Historical averages dated back to 1994 when Clinton was in office. Clinton's budgets formed left the deficit spending at 0.1% but honestly the country was in a different place at that time. Even being young I may not have understood a lot but I know it was never this bad. Rather than each party working together for the good of the nation it seems to be geared towards a different goal now. Over a 40-year period the congressional budget office had 3.0% deficit and gov't spending was at 20.4% and revenue of 17.4%. The most current law has a deficit of 2.9% and 21.1% in gov't spending and 18.3%. The House Republican budget by Rep.Paul D. Ryan leaving the deficit 0.6%and the gov't spending at 18.8% and revenue of 18.2%. My question is why can't we learn from the past systems and see what worked and how it can benefit our nation today. Instead of putting our nation in more debt and making it very hard for my generation to recover. If there was something I could to do or rally up enough citizens to make a change instead of leaving our future in the hands of rich politics who will be rich long after their term regardless of what the outcome will be. It is time to make a stand!
