SNAP bill Thoughts

 The SNAP bill should not be passed. Food stamps have helped poor Americans get through the days to be able to feed there families. The majority who are voting for the bill to be passed are the Republicans, and it is known that they want Americans to be more independent, but the SNAP bill will only make things worse for those who are struggling with money. If food stamps were to be taken away, then families would have to decide have to make sacrifices. Instead of the money that parents use to pay for their children's new school supplies, new clothes, or new shoes, would have be used on groceries. Children will have the issue of out growing there clothes and shoes, but probably will not be able to buy new clothes or shoes until three months, five months, or maybe even a year depending on their family's financial situation. For school, children need gym uniforms, and now schools are starting to use the Internet to increase their students education ability, and a family who is having financial issues probably does'nt have the money to pay for new clothes, Internet, or even a new computer if they need one. This are just a few reasons of why the SNAP bill should not be passed, and these few reasons are great ones on their own.

Video games have evolved greatly, and has shown that these are products that help the economy, Grand Theft Auto V is a great example. Rockstar Studios has spent 25 million dollars on making this game, and with just in pre - orders, they were able to get that money back easily. Before it was launched consumers were not able to play it themselves unless you worked at Rockstar Studios or if you had a job that involved informing about games. Rockstar just showed gameplay and informed the public of what you can do in the game. The reason this worked is because GTA is a franschise, and when the first one came out the invisible hand gave it a thumbs up, and Rockstar continued to make more. On the day it launched Rockstar made 800 million dollars, and are now expected to make a billion soon. All of this success is possible because of the approval that the invisible hand gave to the first Grand Theft Auto game.

My thoughts on Obama's decision of Syria's issue

Obama's position is to not to put soldiers in Syria, and is holding off the strike, because Russia was able to take away the chemical weapons, and is going to talk to President Putin so they can reach a peaceful solution with Syria's dictator. I agree Obama's position, because so many lives were already lost from chemical attacks that Asad did to his own people, and also from the rebellion  that has risen from the people of Syria. Obama said that people wrote him that America is not world's police, and Obama responded that he is right, but when a dictator decides to break an international law that Asad broke, which was using chemical weapons and even using them against his own people, we cannot just ignore this, because Asad will think that he can get away with whatever he wants, and will also make other dictators think that they could get away with what they want. First we must try to find a way to end this problem with a peaceful solution and if Asad decides to not comprise then the strike should be used to show that these actions are unacceptable.
