Veterans & HealthCARE

Health care for our veterans should be free or cost less than the average person. There's no doubt about it. These individuals fought hard for our country the least the government can do to pay them back is give them health care benefits. The cost for health care hasn't increased in eleven years so what's the reason for increasing it now. The government spends a lot of money, but if they needed to cut down on money it shouldn't come from health care. Health care is already a big part of our country's well being, it shouldn't be altered for the worse but for the better.

SUPPLY & DEMAND.



What is Supply & Demand?

What is the economy without the Supply and Demand theory? It is one of the most important concepts of the market economy. Demand is based on the public. It's the amount of a product or service people the "buyers" are willing to purchase and at what certain price. Now the demand relationship is very easy. It's basically the relationship between price and demand. Now supply, is how much the market can offer or produce for the buyers. The relationship between price and how much of a good or service is available to the market is known as the supply relationship. 

Determination of Prices: 

Price is based on the interaction of supply and demand. Equilibrium price is when the buyers and sellers can come to an agreement on a price. The less amounts of a product there is the more money a consumer would have to pay in order to balance the ration the shortage.  If a lot of one product is produced, also known as a surplus, producers would have to lower their prices in order to sell all products and not have any excess . Prices control whether supply and demand are at an equilibrium. 

In this chart it shows the clear relationship between supply and demand.The red lines show the relationship between price and supply. As supply increases the price decreases.The blue line shows how as the supply decreases, the price increases along with it.

WOMEN IN COMBAT

Female combat veterans are suffering now rather than when they were actually at war. Why?



Post traumatic stress disorders are coming about due to the services these females once gave in combat. This article explains how women distance themselves from people avoiding embarrassment. They isolate from their spouses and even children. The women seek to be alone because they feel that they are people of high rankings in the military so they cannot be seen as someone who is "mentally unstable". Although women aren't even allowed to fight on ground or in front line they are still suffering from this disorder just as much as the men who do actually fight on ground. Women usually are hit harder by this because,unlike a man she can't hit the bar once she comes home to drink her inner thoughts away. She's eventually left to deal with this all by herself.

Being Smart With Money


Some teens use money wisely. They do this early in their lives. Explain why this is important.
Look at the news story for help. Use your own ideas, too.
Its important to use money wisely early in our lives because we can save money that we might need later on. Also because we can get accustomed to good money spending habits, that will carry on into our adulthood. The financial plans we create now can very well have long term results based on the amount of money we wind up saving from it.
