The Gender Gap

Currently the gender gap is narrowing in the work force and politics. In the Republican party, the amount of women representation in Congress has grew so much since 1917, when only one female Republican was in the House of Representatives. Currently we have one hundred and two women in Congress all together. Is how this gender gap narrowing a good thing for society? Is more women being in politics going to really do something for America?

The Republican Defense

The Republicans believe strongly in a national defense. They believe that our national defense should be built up strong. The Republicans believe that the defense should be ready to defend our country against any type of attack in our home land or an attack against us abroad.

The deficit under Republicans

After looking at the deficits from the Bush administration and Obama administrations. America's debt was rising when President Bush was in office. The opposite has been happening under Obama, the debt is falling. During the current elections it is better for a Republican to show that they spend less money rather than show how much the deficit rises while Republicans are in charge.

More on Republicans and their spending.

 

A recent question I received basically asked which political party spends more money. The following charts give you the answer to that question...

 

Between the last Republican president (President Bush) and the current Democratic president (President Obama), the Democrats have spent much more money than the Republicans.

The previous graph shows the average federal spending when Democrats and Republicans control Congress. The title of the graph gives you your answer... "federal spending is lower when Republicans control Congress."

 

The answer to my question is pretty obvious after looking at the facts, Republicans are successful in being frugal with the money they spend and cutting government waste.

 

How do Republicans like to spend their money?

Republicans try their best to cut government spending and not wasting the governments money. They believe that individuals should control their own and the government's pocket book. They also believe that the people are in charge of what the tax increases should be and if there should even be a tax increase.

Republicans on the Economy

Republicans believe that the economy has been growing through free enterprise and little regulation. Although they believe in little regulation, they believe the government should help citizens in using their talents to make money.

Republicans - Who are they?

In my Current Events class, my current task is to discover what a Republican believes in. So far, I've come across the core beliefs of Republicans. They believe that you are responsible for yourself, and the government will provide the ability of benefits for the individuals and for the individual's families. They also believe that the government should only step in if society can't stand by itself. Throughout the next week or two, I will be posting what I discover about Republicans and more details on specific things they believe in.
