There is indeed widespread panic among Americans who can be considered victims of the irresponsible acts of the Government which resulted into a global economic recession. The continuous increase in budget deficit and national debt has cut major government services and as a result, more people are unemployed or underemployed or underprivileged. The unlikable events that are happening may have caused a more destructive impact on the nation’s future.
Because of the rising trend in which individuals are deprived of work opportunities, families’ especially bigger ones are unable to support their children’s needs. Take for example the son’s or daughter’s of each parent which might not be able to go to school and get the proper education that is needed for a brighter future. Also take in mind those young children who might fell ill but cannot be brought to the hospital because of huge medical bills. Several evidences suggest that indeed the nation’s future is severely affected by this catastrophic event in America.
It has been projected that one in every four children will eventually experience poverty. Without job opportunities, teens aging from 16-24 will comprise the vast majority of persons who will more likely get no job at all. There is also a study which predicts child poverty to be on the rise in the next couple of years. In the study, it is noted that a child may have a higher chance of not finishing high school and may end up growing poor. Children may also end up being overweight because their parents are unable to provide them with healthy and nutritious foods.
Being poor may affect the basic elements of one’s survival such as health. Without sufficient money or savings, future adults may be deprived of proper healthcare and medical attention. More adults are prone to diseases and may die at a younger age. The morale and confidence will be lowered and basically the industry’s talents will be lessened. As an effect, families may also refrain from paying their taxes. The national budget will be lessened and so the cycle goes on.
There is indeed a relationship between the present events and what will happen in the future. What we are living today will greatly influence the future of our nation. Think of our future sons and daughters who might be suffering from starvation, poverty and lack of education. If we don’t act now, our nation will falter and the future might end in peril. The government should stop cutting the federal and civil workforce as this will only result in more unemployed individuals. The best practice is to implement programs that are accountable and at the same time reasonable which aim in helping more citizens get the essential benefits and eventually get back their jobs.
