5.         “Throwing money” at a problem does not always fix it.  Just look at the public educational system in this country.  We spend so much money and yet many students leave high school with very little.  The New Deal spent a lot of taxpayers’ money and yet, it did not end the Depression.  While I do understand why some of the programs under the New Deal were put into effect, and I do think they were needed, it just seems to me that when the government takes on these programs, the result is usually inefficiency.

I am not sure what I would have done to bring an end to the Great Depression, I know that I would not have raised taxes on hard working Americans and on businesses.  When you tax individuals, their purchasing power is reduced.  When you tax businesses, their hiring power is reduced.  It is a vicious circle.

6. I think that the atomic bomb was a horrible invention because it can kill many people and has horrible lasting effects, but I believe that dropping the bomb on Japan brought an end to the war and saved many American and Japanese lives in the long run.  The Japanese were fanatics and were not going to surrender easily.  The war could have gone on for years.
