Description

  • Will the U.S. government shut down for lack of money, and if so, what doors actually close? How did we get here, and which party might be blamed? With elected leaders in Washington running out of ideas for keeping the federal government funded, and a midnight deadline fast approaching, what ideas do you have to avoid a shutdown? Evaluate the impact that political influence has exerted upon the budgetary process overall.
  • Government often grows to meet the demands of the citizenry and so does the cost associated with the growth. Analyze the population growth rate from 2010 through 2016 in Alabama. Provide these figures in your response for each year. Explain why expansions are needed to meet the needs of society and how they are funded. These processes sometimes bring hard criticisms? Why?
  • After Reading the “2017 America First – A Blueprint to Make America Great Again” and based on your predictions for the years 2017-2025, discuss the impact of Alabama’s population increase on the three highest discretionary spending accounts.

Introduction
The congress is given the authority by the constitution to spend and raise money for the
U.S federal government. The president’s budget begins the budget process in the U.S. It
describes the president’s budget priorities in the next fiscal year. However, the republicans and
the democrats may disagree on the approval of upcoming year’s federal budget resulting in the
government shutdown. The government shutdown has effects on offices considered nonessential.
The essay illustrates the government shutdown and effect of population increase in Alabama.
Question 1
The government shutdown refers to a process where the federal budget excludes the
nonessential offices thus leading to their closure. The federal budget is approved upon the
passing of the spending bill by the Congress. The federal employee's work will be halted when
the federal operations are shut down. The reserved cash can be used to run the organization as
they try to find the solution during the government shutdown. However, the organizations will

eventually close. The passing of the budget bill and the reach of compromise is the only strategy
that can reverse the government shutdown.
Why is a shutdown possible?
The support of the Republican leadership is inadequate hence the government cannot be
kept open. The immigration agreement should be assured for the Democrats to vote for the
spending bill.
How may a shutdown affect people?
The government shutdown will cause furloughed of 800,000 federal workers. The law
enforcement workers will retain their jobs during the government shutdown. The visitor will be
unable to access the Smithsonian museum and National park. Conversely, some national parks
are kept functioning by the states during the government shutdown (Arnold).
Which government functions would be unaffected?
The essential activities such as the control of the air traffic, the criminal investigation by
the federals, the military operations and the inner circle of the president probe are not altered
during the government shutdown. Secondly, the other unaffected organizations are the U.S
Federal Reserve and Postal Services since they fund themselves (Arnold).
Who would get blamed for a shutdown?
The improper working of Washington poses a high risk to the republican. The
Democratic senators are blamed for the government shutdown since they protect the children
who migrated to the U.S illegally hence they are unwilling to pass the bills.

Question 2
The Alabama population has continued to grow from 2010 to 2016. The Alabama
population was 4,779,736, 4,863,300 and 4,874,747 in the years 2010, 2016 and 2017
respectively. Therefore, the percentage of population growth is 2.0%. It can be concluded that
there is a continuous increase in the population in the last seven years. The trend in population
